This past Sunday, C & I participated in the weekly Paris inline skate event held by Rollers & Coquillages. It’s something we’ve been talking about doing for a while, and we picked the perfect day. They start out every Sunday at Bastille at 2:30pm on the dot, and usually get back somewhere around 5:30-6pm. The parcours are usually about 20km long and cross all of Paris. This week’s was 22.9km long. We weren’t sure where exactly to meet up at Bastille, but once we got there, we pretty much just had to follow the crowd. And then we were off, with I’d say about 2,000 other rollerbladers. It was a pretty amazing experience to skate down some of the main boulevards in the city – Paris was literally at our feet. There were also several policemen stopping traffic and helping maintain order along the way, as well as an amublance following the group in case anyone got hurt.
