There's also the US Embassy (and the British Embassy as well as the Elysée Palace are nearby).<br />You can leave your car unlocked there (if you're allowed to park it there), no problem.<br />:-)David in Setouchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895289419248698831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011647259561000207.post-52621262198892637492009-08-22T12:11:17.875+02:002009-08-22T12:11:17.875+02:00These were parked on the side street, not on Place...These were parked on the side street, not on Place de la Concorde where there is always an army of bellmen.
