Paris, France is at the forefront of the 15-Minute City Movement, adapting sustainable measurements to make the city more liveable and accessible.
French consumer prices rose 2.3 percent in July from a year earlier, a slight increase from June’s 2.2-percent rate, largely due to higher energy prices, state statistical institute Insee said Wednesday.
The report confirmed the preliminary figure released two weeks ago.
