Free public transportation on 14-15-16 March in Paris & Wallonia
Due to the current pollution crisis, all public transportation is free in the Paris metropolitan area on Friday-Saturday-Sunday and maybe more. This includes the airport routes, Versailles, Fontainebleau and anywhere else in zones 1 to 5.
Bus and train transportation is also free starting 14 March in all of French speaking Belgium "until further notice."

Oh, I forgot to mention that Brussels has not yet decreed free transportation even though it is likely to do so (but Brussels is not in Wallonia anyway).
In Wallonia, one is supposed to request a (free) ticket before using transportation.

Yes, I saw this on the French television news on the Internet.
It is certainly one of those good news-bad news announcements: ride free but don't come if you have asthma or other respiratory ailments.
Sleet in May last year, temperature inversions just like LA this year. So much for asking " what will the weather be in Paris?"

The picture of a smogged in Eifel Tower - reminds me of how bad Paris air can be and how anyone with breathing problems should be cognizant that on some days it can be downright health threatening.
