Les voitures et les vélos

The parking here is insane! Although the cars here are much smaller than in the US, as you can see they park along the streets nearly bumper-to-bumper (which seems to be normal by the way)...better be good at parallel parking!



A few other interesting things to note about the transportation are the 'underground' gas station we found and many places along the streets in Nice where electric cars can 'park and plug'. Commuting by bicycle also seems popular, thanks to the numerous 'Vélo Bleu' stations around town where bikes can easily be rented .Considering the parking nightmare, and fact travel by bike is much safer than in the US because the bike lanes are separated from the street traffic by small island curbs, getting around by bike isn't a bad idea! Vive le France!
