Paris breathes this Sunday, without trucks, cars or scooters

For the eighth edition, the city of Paris is organizing a new vehicle-free day: no cars, scooters or trucks, whether thermal or electric, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Make way for alternative modes of transport: bicycle, rollerblades, scooter, skateboard…

The municipality provides for reinforced controls and the installation of barriers around the first four districts, the sector of the avenue des Champs-Elysées, part of the Bois de Vincennes and Boulogne. Add to that a dozen districts, mainly on the right bank: notably all around Montmartre, Château-Rouge, the Bassin de la Villette, the Saint Martin canal and the rue de la Roquette sector.
