Rendezvous: Ferrari F1 vs Streets of Paris
On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a
a professional Formula 1 racer drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris, France.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches.

The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested.

Hell, I had to mispell 'parish' intentionally in my post regarding Louisiana in the past.

One of the more annoying peculiarities of this joint but overall, I still like this place.

Oh, here is a brilliant mashup... watch the video clip in one frame and watch a Google map below display his progress.
