The Smells

The Paris sensory experience -- the specific combination of the coffee and the croissant, the specific boulangerie morning smell, the specific underground odour of the Metro, and the specific river smell of the Seine whose specific character the specific season and the specific rainfall produce -- is the accountability journalism of the city in the form that the data does not capture.

The Change

The change: the specific tobacco smell whose reduction the indoor smoking ban has produced; the specific diesel smell whose reduction the vehicle emission standards have produced; and the specific urban vegetation smell whose increase the specific Paris greening programme has produced.

The Paris Fool Coverage

The Paris Fool covers what Paris smells like because the accountability journalism of the city requires the qualitative observation alongside the quantitative data, and because the olfactory experience of Paris is the experience that the returning visitor knows most immediately and that the visitor who has not been recognises from the description.
