Today I took advantage of one of only two opportunities to enter the Japanese Imperial Palace.
It was Emperor Naruhito's birthday!

Gestern beim Marathon über 20 Grad und heute schneit es…

#Toyko

Thank you #France 🇫🇷 and #Paris for a wonderful Olympic Games.

A real celebration bringing competitors and fans back together. The perfect hosts to heal from COVID-blighted #Toyko.

Also brilliant having the imagination to take some of the set pieces out of the stadium to share with the people. And making subtle adjustments to schedules to give women's events a higher profile. Liberté, égalité, fraternité in action.

Merci mon amis👏
