Today we flew back to Paris, and discovered that the entire metro system was free both today and over the weekend due to some crazy high levels of pollution. The Parisian government actually instituted a driving ban on half the cars on the motorways (only allowing those with odd numbered license plates to drive) but lifted the fees on the metro and on parking.
I had noticed it getting really hazy when we were leaving Thursday, but we apparently picked a great weekend to get out of Paris. Due to some shifting weather patterns it should be much better tomorrow so things will go back to normal.
