Paris by bike

[26.8. Guided Tour] I´ve seen once on tv that there are guided tours through Paris by bike, so i really wanted to try that. I found a flyer in the hostel and went to Notre Dame at 3 p.m., which was the meeting point.
My local, English-speaking guides were Paul (New-Zealand) and Christian (States), who have been living in paris for six and four years each. They just started their business a couple of weeks before, both had studied marketing and business and could speak french fluently. Depending on the day (rain or shine), they have like ten customers or - like this day, only me! So i got a special Paris tour by bike. Christian showed me all the important places you have to see, when you are a tourist in Paris - like the Louvre, the Latin quarter, Place de la Concorde, the Seine river, the Eiffel Tower and many more. The tour took almost three hours and in the beginning i was a bit afraid of going by bike through this town where everyone, who´s owning a car, is used to see the buzzer as something he has to touch every ten seconds. But after ten minutes you get used to it, it is neither dangerous nor insane (as the french people in Odense tried to make me believe;). And i think it´s a great way of making sightseeing...
