Last month some friends and I were on holiday to France.
We ended the trip in Paris, and it would be my first time driving into the city.
I can confidently conclude that I do not enjoy driving a car in Paris during rush hour. It’s a challenging, but also hectic mess with mopeds and motorcycles pushing through everywhere.
Some day I will go there with my bicycle to brave the Parisian roads on two wheels.
Some more notable timestamps in the video are:
– At 50:36 we missed an exit and the road abruptly comes to an end.
– At 1:34:38 we join the A6 péage (tolled highway)
– At 2:42:19 the road starts to get noticeably more busy as we approach Paris.
– At 3:22:30 we enter the more urban areas of Paris.
– At 3:38:24 we needed to make a quick stop, so I make a few attempts trying to parallel park on a busy Parisian street.
– At 3:50:52 is my first time joining the Périphérique.
