No. I didn’t have to do any parallel parking in Paris (LOL) since we didn’t rent a car there. But, Emily noticed that all of the cars on the streets where bumper to bumper. LITERALLY. I mean as in they were one right after, bumper to bumper, along the entire street with NO space inbetween them at all.

She randomly stated she sure wouldn’t like to try parallel parking in Paris because there is literally NO WAY you could backup and inch your way out of the parking spot which led to Michaela giving an explanation that in Paris people leave their cars in neutral. When you need to leave your parking spot you put your car in gear pushing the car ahead or behind you forward or backward so you can get your car out. WEIRD! I guess that explains why their cars were all dinged up.

I forgot to ask her how you would parallel park your car. I guess you would go to the end of the line and park there? Does anyone know?

Anyway. An interesting tidbit I didn’t want to forget about so I’m putting it here on the blog. I thought I took a picture of the bumper to bumper cars, but now I’m not finding it. If I find it later, I’ll post it. In the entry below you can see a row of cars behind Emily in the picture of her eating her pastry. This was the same morning she made the parallel parking observation.
