Paris - Place de la Concorde
Morning traffic on Place de la Concorde, one of the busiest squares in Paris. I went across Paris early in the day to photograph the traffic, which I considered impressive at the time. The closest car is a Citroën 2CV, now a classic (or anti-classic). The Citroën DS (white roof), a luxury car with a futuristic design, is just to the left of the obelisk. The closest parked car is probably a Renault 4CV, which I thought a little about buying when I went to Germany with the U.S. Army.
The two buildings in the background were begun in the late 1750s, during the reigh of Louis XV. They are Hôtel de Crillon, a posh hotel (left), and Hôtel de la Marine (right). The U.S. Embassy is at the far left. The Church of the Madeleine is in the far background.
