I was delighted to hear that the Mayor of Paris is considering replacing the busy roads that run along side the Seine with walkways. Walking by the river is one of my favourite things to do – and I’m not alone. Our Paris mp3 guides both lead people along by the river.
This is, after all, one of the most beautiful walks in the world and one of the most iconic city views. I loved writing our Paris Grand Monuments Mp3 tour which includes a wander along the Seine by the Assembly National and walking to the Isle Saint Louis in our Mp3 tour of Paris Romance and Revolution was great fun when I wrote that tour.
The motorways were built by President Georges Pompidou during the 1970s. Back then everyone loved cars and questions about congestion and CO emissions were never asked. “The French love their cars,” said Pompidou – and they still do. It’s just that cars ruin Paris. I can’t wait to be able to wander along by the beautiful Seine in peace and quiet.
