Picture of the Arc de Triomphe or Arc de Triumph depending on your preference.
One of my favourite places to sit in Paris is the Arc de Triomphe, which is essentially a massive complex roundabout that would strike fear into the hearts of any civilised human being. Just sitting here for a few minutes will present you with some heart-stopping events including: Caravans and Bicycles shunting each other and Half Mad Tourists attempting to cross the 6 lanes of revolving traffic, completely unaware that there is a perfectly safe underpass.
This location seems even more dangerous if you happen to be from the UK and have a liking for driving on the left. Vehicles enter the roundabout at seemingly illogical angles and thrust their way through the throng, just like James Caan in Rollerball (an equally deadly pursuit).
Or maybe I'm just a Wus ;-)
