One of my favorite memories of Paris is sitting on a grassy hill in le Parc des Buttes Chaumont in late September as the sun set with my best friend, watching kids play on the playground. All the children had perfect little French glasses and striped sweaters, except for the one child running around in a full Spiderman costume, mask included. I’m not sure if I’ve ever witnessed such pure joy displayed by one person as in that afternoon.
