Paris is abuzz this coming June because the city is slowly going back to normal. With so many Parisians vaccinated, it won't be long until Paris, and the entire country of France, fully reopens soon. Even then, this coming month already has a ton of events lined up. From concerts to exhibitions, it's like the pandemic never happened. And as the world slowly goes back to normal, the French capital will probably be as busy as it was before Covid-19 happened. In the meantime, here are some events to look forward to in Paris this June 2021.
Paris Reopens
One major event that Paris is most excited about is its grand reopening. According to the
national government's plan, the French capital started getting things back to normal starting May. It began by allowing students to go back to school, travel restrictions started lifting, and various attractions and businesses were permitted to operate again. If things go smoothly and there will no longer be a surge in Covid-19 cases, it's highly possible that, by June 2021, Paris will be fully reopened. And that's just not exclusive to Parisians. With the advent of the
EU's Digital Green Certificates, tourists from other countries may start visiting the city again soon!

Lara Fabian (June 4)
If you've ever been heartbroken, one of the songs you've likely listened to was 'Broken Vow.' The dramatic and extremely melancholic song echoes emotions of regret, hurt, sadness, and a love that has been let go. If you didn't know it yet, the angelic voice behind this emotional hit is none other than Lara Fabian. A Canadian-Belgian
chanteuse, she will hold her next concert here in Paris at L'Olympia on June 4, 2021. If you want to listen to a real diva, whose voice is as angelic as ever, then you wouldn't want to miss this concert!
