It needs a lot of work, this place is a fucking mess for peds and bikes. I see so many confused cyclists navigating from the north where you have back to back 3-5 leg intersections on the south half of the circle. We have this beautiful arch choked off from the world cause it's surrounded by roads wider than highways. It reminds me of the Arc de Triumph in paris that it's like this fucking insane 10 lane wide traffic circle so crazy that they indeed just built tunnels cause how in the fuck would you ever cross it safely. Don't want to see that happen here. This whole area is over-engineered to hell, bring it down to human scale

Didn't know about the tunnels when I visited leading to an American frogger in Paris.

I saw a couple people try it when I was there, but I can’t recommend it

? It was 4pm ish. I had just walked from the louvre which I thought was a good idea not realizing how far away it was.

Also, I'm fast as fuck, boi.

I made this same mistake. Guess I'll have to check out those tunnels next time!
