The aurora borealis in Paris
<p>The Northern Lights in Paris? It seems impossible. Paris is so beautiful already, how could so much more beauty be added to it? And then of course, in a more practical way of thinking, isn’t Paris’s latitude too low for the aurora borealis to be visible?</p>
<p>And so, when I first read a mention of the aurora borealis seen in the sky over the City of Light on October 24, 1870, I felt certain I’d misunderstood.

<p>Lambert was too busy tending to wounded soldiers at an <em>ambulance</em> (an improvised hospital run by wealthy Parisians) to be able to poke her head outside and look up at the sky, something she regretted. She imagined what it would have been like to see the aurora borealis from the top of the Sainte-Chapelle.</p>
