Paris Breathes

Paris Breathes (in French: Paris Respire) is the name of a car-free scheme begun in May 2016 where certain roads are closed to vehicular traffic on Sundays and public holidays between the hours of 9am and 5pm.[1][2] The roads closed include those by the River Seine, in the Marais, the Canal Saint Martin, Montmartre as well as roads elsewhere in the city.[1][3] Cycling and walking are the main forms of getting around on these roads on these days.
