At 300 km/h back home, gotta love the french at the very least for their railway! And: no silly paper tickets for the Paris Metro anymore, instead simply use the Apple Wallet 🤩
I could go on and on… Lyon rebuilt and rebuilds most of their roads to be Oneway and hold a physically separate bike lane!
