Pedicab from Pont Alexandre III (the bridge):
After the walking tour, my feet hurt so bad that I could barely walk. We wanted to visit the Arc de Triomphe, and we saw these types of Pedicab riding around the street. So we went to ask this pretty cute guy how much would it be to ride to the Arc de Triomphe. It wasn't that far, it was about a 15 minutes ride for 20 Euros. Oh well, we might as well spend the money for the experience :)
We were riding quite close to the other cars. It was a refreshing ride, yet in a way it did feel a little scary that I could almost touch the other car by reaching my arm out. The cab rider kept doing shoulder checks, giving hand signals and ringing the bell to merge in and out. It was about 6 pm, rush hour, there were lots of car but the traffic seem pretty peaceful.
Avenue des Champs-Élysées:
Here!! We are almost there! to the Arc de Triomph! This is the Avenue des Champs-Elysees, one of the most famous street with its cinemas, cafes, luxury specialty shops - one of the most expensive strips of real estate in the world.
Interesting blog, it reminds me of Le Marais in Paris, a fashionable district, most of the mansions turned to museum, libraries and schools, surrounded by the best clothes and food shops, and modern art galleries.
