Champs-Élysées closures

This item appears on page 4 of the July 2016 issue.

In order to combat pollution and traffic, Paris now closes the Avenue des Champs-Élysées to motorized vehicles on the first Sunday of every month; closures began on May 8. In addition to Champs-Élysées, nine other roads in Paris will be closed on each first Sunday. You can find the list of roads at www.paris.fr/parisrespire (in French only). 

 In addition, Parisian officials have made the city’s museums free on those Sundays.
