  • I think they should create a video game in which you rent a scooter and try to get around Paris while dodging bad drivers, tourists standing in the middle of the street taking photos of Arc de Triomphe, and the occasional French poodle that snaps off of its leash and chases Vespas.

    2006 update: The Arch of Triumph is still a fun place to just hang out and marvel at the amazing traffic whirlpool that has made Paris notorious for mishaps. I actually thought about renting a car just to drive in circles around the Arch. On my second trip I witnessed another traffic accident just west of the China embassy involving a local taxi and an old man from the suburb of Meudon. How do I know he is from Meudon? He gave me his address and asked me to send him the photo I took with my digital camera! (See second photo.)
