A VW bus at the Arc de Triomphe

We had just come out of the metro with our suitcases from the airport when I saw this VW bus, or as I’ve just found out, a Volkswagen Type 2, pulled over to the side of the road on the busy roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

It was a lovely August day and this vintage vehicle was a perfect foreground to the magnificent monument in the background.

The man in the hat looking out the sunroof had a nice view of everything. I’m glad they stopped there. 🙂

  1. @donncha Wow, so few cars there. I don’t recall ever seeing it that quiet.

      I was there in August and that may be why. More tourists around than natives, probably!

      1. @donncha@mastodon.ie @donncha@inphotos.org That is certainly an interesting time to be in Paris – so many things you take for granted will be open are closed. and for several weeks too.
