Sightseeing Paris in style
« on: December 27, 2024, 03:32:48 AM »
We went to Paris for a week to celebrate our 30 years anniversary.   Even in December, streets are full of scooters and motorcycles.  Anyway, there is also an option to see the sights from a sidecar.

Cool. Did you take the tour by sidecar?
I know a guy in San Diego that has a sidecar tour business.

I only took a picture of them - and forgot what bikes they use.  Triumphs maybe.

Lucky fellow!

While 'le side-car' has made it's way into modern Franglais, the more formal noun in French is 'le panier' or the basket. Harking back, I guess, to the original method of construction.

Either way, entering l'étoile in the chair has got to be an exhilarating experience.

I'll rather rudely paraphrase Samuel Johnson : "When a man is tired of Paris, he is tired of life"

I recommend you go there. I do whenever I can.

It was funny to watch all the kid's carrying arrangements on two wheel vehicles.  Also insulated blankets/bags for riders are very popular.

What i considered stupid was many riders riding with their feet off pegs and holding them like 4 inches off the ground.
