A stroll through Paris. Monday 11 June.


A couple of days in Paris with a flexible agenda, a stout pair of walking boots, and my trusty point-and-shoot camera. 


The 1.9km cobbled surface of Avenue des Champs-Élysées takes a ‘slight’ gradient just before the half-way point between the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. Think of that when the final circuit of the Tour de France finishes here on the 22nd of July.
