Random quote about Parisian parking habits:

Quote
Parking in Paris is different from what youre used to. As theres not enough parking space the average driver parks in until he touches the car in front, maybe he even tries to push that one a bit so he can enter his place. Most drivers leave the gears out and the handbrake off to avoid smashed lights when a "pusher" tries too hard and slides off. Land Rovers have higher bumpers so a bit of care while parking is needed. Of course you may have a problem when you come back and find your parked parked shut by others- or you may not see a problem. Best advice I can give is to use the public transport if you want to visit this city. Below: This IS one of two roads leading out of a small village in southern France. And, yes, its really as tight as it looks.

Not convinced. I reckon it would have needed a handbrake turn to get in there.
