Paris France yesterday, one of my favourite cities worldwide. I'd like to go there with my new car within a month. Better not.



From 3:25....got me so ANGRY.Undescribable.... Kudos to the police officer. Our own Dwayne The Rock Johnson....


Cheers

Thanks for the video. We will stay in Paris for 4 days but without car. The Metro is so good and having a car is a hassle. We will fetch our "E class or equivalent" on our way out of town. We will see what equivalent means.

We are likely headed for Amsterdam toward the end of our trip; your neck of the woods. I worked there years ago and it will be good to go back and visit.

If you have a car, stay away from the big cities. Just a pain in the ass having a car there. Luckily, you have a car, so you can visit the countryside!

If your hire car is decent then go to Romainia purely for this road...

Yeah, Amsterdam Central Station has been renovated recently etc. It is/was a mess in and around that area(centre in general vs other famous cities)becaus of North South subway line construction.
My grandma(RIP) is from Amsterdam but she was from before WW1 crisis etc.

Sometimes I think A'dam is still in crisis lol.

London, Barcelona, Siena, my kind of cities.

Cheers
Robin

Thanks for the advice. That is one reason for the car instead of train. When in cities we will park at the hotel and use public transportation. When I lived in Amsterdam my colleague was too important (in his mind) to use public transportation. He drove and always arrived late and always had a nice excuse to go with it.
