Champs Elysees to be car-free

Anne Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris has announced that the Avenue des Champs-Élysées will be closed to cars on one Sunday each month from April 2016 to open the whole road to pedestrians!

This follows on from an experiment in September 2015 creating a traffic-free day in Paris – an initiative from the Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo – Journée sans voiture will make the French capital “a pedestrian and bicycle paradise” for one day – see www.paris.fr
