Yes, all women of Paris, it is still FORBIDDEN for you to wear trousers in public (unless riding a bicycle or a horse) according to a law that was enacted in 1800 and still stands to this day.

The rule banning women from dressing like men – namely by wearing trousers - was first introduced in 1800 by Paris' police chief and has survived repeated attempts to repeal it.
