It seems that the daily commute is just as bad here in Paris (not one moving vehicle in sight)! :-p

Actually we were along the Boulevard Murat, one of the 36 km long Maréchaux Boulevards awaiting the "Chaîne de Fraternité" to be held across the
city at 10:45 am. Thousands of hands will then join together as a gesture of world peace through friendship as churchbells peal in tandem all over Paris.
