Pourquoi Paris est-elle la ville de l’amour (ou plutôt celle des célibataires) ?

Le musee Carnavalet expose << Les gens de Paris, 1926-1936 >>, un voyage au coeur d'une ville qui aime, flirte et s'amuse, tandis qu'y plane la question de la natalite.

However, I'm dismayed at what her narrative leaves out (1/10)

Here is a #badgeographyjoke to alienate my French friends 😉🇫🇷

120. Among 66 women Nobel Prize winners (counting Marie Curie twice), the mean number of children is 1.5, the median is 2, 82% had 2 or fewer, 36% had none. Counts adopted and most step children. Three are still under age 50. (Data and code: osf.io/tj769/)
