This. The last 10 years have seen so many improvements: - Around the Seine, Rivoli, or left-bank, 3 streets went from almost-highway to cycling friendly shared road. - Many 2 lanes streets got reduced to 1-lane + 1 protected bicycle lane. - many large "roundabouts" offer a safer path. The right bank clearly lags behind the left bank, but it's getting better every year.
