Adding in brief mention to Yellow vests movement in History section
The Yellow vest protests in Paris which were the epicenter of the whole France wide movement similar to the May 68 Protests ought to have at least a brief mention in the history section. The protests brought about major political changes to the French government of the time with Macron eventually raising the minimum wage, getting rid of the fuel tax hike, 'improved government accountability' etc. But only after weeks of massive demonstrations in Paris In which 287,000 protestors took part in at their peak in November and December of 2018. https://www.france24.com/en/20191116-a-year-of-insurgency-how-yellow-vests-left-indelible-mark-on-french-politics https://www.francetvinfo.fr/live/message/5bf/059/0a5/ff4/e90/12a/7ac/c79.html

Updating statistics on museums - a little help requested
Dear Paris-watchers, I've updated the statistics on Paris museum attendance using 2020 figures from the new, updated "Le tourisme à Paris - Chiffres clés - 2020 (2021 Edition) " published on-line from the the Paris office of visitors and conventions. I've updated the figures, but I can't seem to put together a citation goes directly to that document. Could anyone help me with this? Many, many thanks!!

"Terrorist attacks" section
The "History" section has 4 subsections:
- Origins
- High and Late Middle Ages to Louis XIV
- 18th and 19th centuries
- 20th and 21st centuries
The last one (20th and 21st centuries) ends with a separate "Terrorist attacks" sub-subsection.
I question the relevance of that "Terrorist attacks" section:
- It doesn't follow the overall chronological order of the "History" section as the 1995 bombings are mentioned there after Sarkozy's 2007 Grand Paris launch.
- It is extremely long compared to what I think is it's importance. There are only two paragraphs about the French Revolution, one about WWI, and one about WWII but a whole subsection with 3 long paragraphs about these terror attacks.
- It's too much detailed. Do we need to know that the attack was done by "a two-backpack-carrying, machete-wielding attacker shouting "Allahu Akbar""? Is it that important in the 2000+-year history of Paris? I don't think so.
I propose to:
- Delete this subsection
- Delete the paragraph about the 1995 bombings
- Move the second paragraph at the end of the "20th and 21st centuries" and replace it with: "In January 2015, terrorist attacks claimed by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula occurred across the Paris region. 1.5 million people marched in Paris in a show of solidarity against terrorism and in support of freedom of speech. On 13 November of the same year, terrorist attacks, claimed by ISIL, killed 130 people and injured more than 350."
- Delete the last paragraph as these attacks seem to be anecdotal facts (in the wider context of Paris' 2000+-year history)
