Is there a reason for this ban? I mean, one that makes any sense on this planet?

I imagine the reason is: old motor vehicles pollute the air much more than newer ones. Perhaps they don't want Beijing-style air quality.

I spent a couple of days in Paris 30 some years ago. Total waist of time for me. Since I have no plans on returning, they can ban what ever they want. :roll:

Every once in a while something happens to completely excuse me for my otherwise unacceptable prejudice against the French.

Thank you, Mayor.

That's laughable. The cheapest surgical mask, loosely applied! I'll bet she still blows black snot into her hankie!

I wonder if the ol' Citroen 2cv will get a pass?

I am looking forward to riding in Paris in early July. I love that city. do that on a scooter if need be but do have a friend who is floating me a decent R80. I are going to enjoy the ride at 3 in the morning racing through the empty streets like some kind of Hollywood big spy film. I will bring my contour so there will be a bragging video. It is one of the biggies on my small bucket list.

What! Fox news made it up? No! Say it isn't so. Who's a person to believe now, Fox News or Huffington Post?
