We did a short walking tour of Paris on Friday. I’m a terrible tourist so we just walked around the iconic landmarks rather than going in them.

The major intersections in Paris have “bike boxes” where they bikes are supposed to move to the front of the line of stopped cars.

We also saw a few of the Paris community rental bikes. They look pretty nice, although the reported $750M cost over 10 years could have probably been spent on making a better/cheaper system than what they have now.

The Arc de Triomphe was also pretty impressive. I had no idea it was that big.

After wandering around Lorah and I stopped at a cafe to share some wine and cheese, as one should always do in Paris.
