You ease into the leather bench of a Citroën Traction or a 2CV as Paris rolls by—cobblestones humming beneath the wheels, the Seine daring you to look toward its bridges. The car moves with a patient confidence, drawing you past the Eiffel Tower’s iron lattice, across the Trocadéro’s terraces, then along the broad sweep of the Champs-Élysées toward the Arc de Triomphe.
