France - Paris - Cyclists and Liberty

Article Date: 2007-11-26

Paris is the heart of France. The city's tempo is determined by the people who are situated far and wide throughout this country. It would be impossible to sever the heartstrings between the people and their magnificent Paris. This place is where culture has been accumulated from every city, town and village in France. The result is the most exciting city in the world. Everybody wants to be a Parisian. Their famous nonchalant attitude contrasts with a deep respect for the history and culture of Paris.

This large city has proved its progressive attitude by addressing the problems of traffic pollution. The capital city of France has said oui to a bike rental scheme. In excess of thirteen thousand people have signed up.

- Speed bikes are on call twenty four hours a day
- 750 bike stations around Paris
- Use for a day, week or a year
- Payment by swipe of a card

In total, forty thousand Parisians cycle on a regular basis. Delanoe, the mayor of Paris and its residents, are determined to decrease car traffic by 40 percent by the year 2020. In France, they refer to the bikes as Velibs. Velib is a hybrid word from the French for bike (velo) and freedom (liberte). The Velib is undeniably French in style and philosophy.

Visitors and Parisians alike are cycling around the city. Suddenly, the most jaded inhabitants are rediscovering the beautiful architecture of France, the ornate metal art. On a bicycle there is time to see not only the beautiful green parks, but also the jaunty window boxes, and tiny gardens full of color. The aromas of delicate patisseries and dark coffee fill the air. Parisians and visitors who cycle in France greet and talk.

In France, this is a city of sophisticated elegance that somehow manages to keep up with modern responsibilities. This is done in a very French way and is perhaps its greatest asset. Property that is available to investors is not just bricks and mortar. Surrounded by the understated Parisian charm it is an investment in one of the great cultures of the world.
