The high UV index of 9.0 throughout the day reminds us of the importance of sun protection, but as the evening cools, the air becomes crisp and refreshing. The clear skies offer a perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll through the city, where the charm of French cafés and the allure of authentic cuisine beckon.
