I will definitely take a look later. At the moment I am behind in my MWIF games and has three of them waiting on my input.

- The van that appears after 30-odd seconds - a portent of things to come

- There was some serious beard action going on!

- Crossing the road must have been quite hazardous. I bet there were a lot of accidents with horses and people

- I also thought of the odd carriage - but there was some serious traffic (is that the Champs Elysee? Maybe full of tourists?).

- Interesting to see the fire brigade on a mission 1890's stylee

Thanks for sharing

Well there is probably not now a bigger traffic jam... So older is not always better...
In Paris pedestrians are torned between the patience which is required for waiting a 'geste de politesse ' from drivers which may probably never come , and the gallic bravado defying everything.

Now you now why the automobile can be considered both environmentally friendly and more sanitary.

BTW, if you're even remotely interested in cars and/or motorbikes, check out his channel. His collection is completely ridiculous.
