No cars anymore...

The Seine banks are more and more given back to pedestrians, bikers…  Since a number of years, a large part of the right bank has been closed to car traffic during some summer weeks, “Paris Plages”. Instead of allowing the cars back by the end of last summer, it was decided to maintain a large part of the right river bank car-free, forever (?).  Not everybody is satisfied with this decision which has created some traffic jams elsewhere, but personally I’m happy – I have no car! I think rather that the ”wrong decision” was taken in the 1960’s, when the river banks were opened for traffic. There are now plans to make the banks even more attractive. Let’s see.
