Capturing the emptiness of Paris, a city under lockdown

As spring blooms, some of the most famous landmarks in the City of Lights are off-limits.



Police patrol the empty Plan du Trocadero on March 17, the first day of the lockdown in Paris. Before leaving their homes, Parisians are supposed to show authorities a note stating the purpose and time of their outing. Those without one risk a fine.



IN THE NEARLY two decades I’ve lived and worked in Paris, I’ve never seen it this quiet. It’s an eerie, empty quiet.


Six days after the order for people to stay home, La Defense, the business district of Paris, was deserted.
