Last-minute Schedule Upsets
Parisians are a bustling crowd. If they haven’t already scheduled a Saturday evening dinner, they likely have plans to watch a movie or have received an invitation to a gallery opening. The city’s vibrant scene offers an abundance of options, making it challenging to decide on plans. Establishing connections in Paris, especially for foreigners, often results in a continuous flow of invitations.
However, given the overwhelming choices, most people tend to confirm their plans at the last possible moment, and canceling on each other has become as trendy as this year’s ankle boots. While Parisians aren’t inherently unreliable, it’s the city’s pace that compels them to treat plans as precariously as a washcloth retaining water. Fortunately, for those visiting Paris briefly, this vexing trend is likely to remain beyond their experience.
