The Arc de Triomphe, another famous monument of Paris, built to honour those who fought and died in the French revolution and Napoleonic wars. Positioned in the middle of a crazy busy intersection where cars weave in and out of each other with no regard to any road rules, how there isn’t a pile up every 30 seconds I don’t know. I was challenged to run across the intersection to the Arc in the centre, something I did back in 2006. Pure insanity. I tried again this time around but gave up, I must be getting to old and slow. I opted for the much more sensible underground tunnel option to reach the middle.
I'm travelling the world once again, but this time a little differently. I am currently cycle touring my way through Europe. On the 11/11/11 I pedalled out of Bromsgrove, a few hundred kilometres north-west of London. From there I made my way through central London, down to Dover, caught a ferry to Calais and got started in France. Calais to Amiens, through the hustle and bustle of Paris, into the southern wine regions and am now heading to the Mediterranean coast and the city of Marseille.
