Paris today. Confinement time. Photo from the Interior Ministry.

It cannot be fun driving around the Arc de Triomphe in these conditions. It has be be rush hour with cars everywhere, foot down and only look to your right because of the priority to the right. The cars coming from the left will stop.

I always used to take first time visitors to Paris around Place Charles de Gauule. I am surprised none ever had a heart attack.

I had a friend who refused categorically to go round the Arc de Triomphe in particular when he was driving himself. So he always used to go round using the street circling the place which of course took ages in particular since there was a traffic light at each intersection.
