Hey Frenchie, think of this as London getting paid back for helping liberate your ass....twice.
Why are the streets of Paris lined with trees? So the Germans can march in the shade.
Congrats London. Hopefully you'll have the soccer thing figured out by then.

So the English helped liberate Paris twice? Really? When did this happen?
If you're thinking the Napoleonic Wars - well Paris never fell, and if it did it would have fallen to the attacking forces... in this case the British, Dutch, Russians and Prussians.
If you're thinking the Franco-Prussian War - the Prussians/Germans turned Paris over to the French forces, so that the French could deal with the Paris Commune Uprising... so I guess the French liberated it this time.
If you're thinking WWI - well Paris never fell... so no liberators.
If you're thinking WWII - well the Germans surrendered to the 2nd French Armoured Brigade after heavy fighting on the outskirts of Paris... so I guess the French liberated Paris this time too.
EDITED>>> Ooops my bad - the Germans surrendered to the 2nd French Armoured
Division commanded by Leclerc (the guy the current French MBT is named after - and not a half bad MBT either).
