"I love Paris in the fall" - Part IIB: The Return of FTBT





Thursday, November 19
After having such an amazing time with our Fat Tire Bike Tour in London, Suzi and I knew for sure that we wanted to tour with Fat Tire again in Paris. We met our guide under the Eiffel Tower at 11AM. After that, he walked us to their offices and we picked up our bikes. The tour was so much fun, although a little scarier than London because we spent a lot more time on the actual Paris roads. At one point we all had to bike through Place de la Concorde - his advice to us - "never look back." Also (true story), I got separated from the group at one point and had to maneuver around some parisian cars - rough. Overall, it was an amazing tour and I hope to someday do more Fat Tire Bike Tours!
