I still get the willies, fifteen years later, thinking about the
roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe ... if I recall correctly, it was
eight lanes wide and thirteen different roads met there, at least
three of them major, major roads, like l'Etoile on both sides.

A few years ago (20 or so) I was in Paris getting ready for a
randoneur event - 5 or 6 of us rode our bikes from the hostel to some
local bike shops, partly to buy stuff, partly just because. Rode
around the Arc de Triomphe coming and going. Not rush hour, but still
interesting sport. Better on a bike than a car though, get more
respect from the drivers.
