I was in Paris this weekend; it was great to be able to participate in this project. It was pleasant on multiple levels - the lack of traffic, absolutely, but also the sense of community and sense of belonging. There's definitely a feeling of 'taking back' your city when you can circulate freely. One of the most interesting aspects was that the road tunnels were also open. Paris has quite a few tunnel systems in the center of town, and most of these were available to stroll through, proving a unique insight into what is an oft-overlooked part of the city. That, and the ability to run / ride / skate through the system, made for a fun day. It's definitely something other cities could adapt
