Bright and early this Sunday morning Paris arose for the Marathon
de Paris. Fantastic warm weather for a morning out, and lots of
fun and excitement in the streets cheering people on. I now feel
pretty sure of the pronunciation of "allez". I took lots
of photos; truth be told I was more interested in the crowd than
the runners.
The last time I saw the Marathon de Paris
was sleepily in the back of a cab after being in a plane for 12 hours.
The marathon goes all the way across Paris from the Bois de Boulogne
to the Bois de Vincennes and back and there's not much provision made for
crossing the route. Bad time to try to get to the left bank.
