Why has The Idiot been making nocturnal forays throughout Paris during winter-dark January?
Because he’s going to Norway and the Arctic Circle, where there’s currently no sunrise and only slightly more than an hour of “daylight,” at mid-month and wants to perfect his night vision.
Here’s what he saw last weekend in the dark in the City of Light.

The back steps to Sacré-Cœur Basilica.
The Arc de Triompfe.
Val-de-Grâce.
