step 1: create a variable called paris

step 2: assign it to a blank object literal

I don't think I can say it any simpler. solution for reference:

var paris = {};

Hi Gabriel.

You need to make an JavaScript object with a reference poiting to it named "paris".

The way you make a javascript object is by using {};

var paris = Insert the way you make an object here

That´s a hint, write back if you still cannot solve it.
