What?  Avenue Des Champs Élysées?  Last time I was there there was some
sort of parade with what must have been 1000 old cars, mostly french, some
english and others.  I don't know what the occasion was since we were only
there for a few days and didn't have time to find out.  I have never seen
so many Renault Dauphines in one place at one time!  Nor will I ever again.
 Quite a few Traction Avant's, too.
