Description
Nella foto un viale molto famoso , ricco di negozi e di vita . Alle mie spalle si trova l’ Arco di Trionfo e in fondo , davanti a me , si intravvede la grande ruota panoramica . Di fronte alla ruota si trova il giardino del Louvre .
Una piccola precisazione per dire che non sono incosciente abbastanza per stare nel mezzo al traffico ( veramente intenso ) , ma sono piazzato dietro a uno dei due semafori che permettono l’attraversamento.
In the picture a very famous street full of shops and life. Behind me is the 'Arc de Triomphe and down in front of me, he sees the big wheel. In front of the wheel is the garden of the Louvre.
A small clarification to say that they are not reckless enough to stand in a traffic jam (very intense), but they are placed behind one of the two traffic lights to cross.
