Take her with you - no question.

The pereferique (Paris' inner ring road) is great for performance cars. There are great link roads and dual carriageways where you can really gun it and cruising up the Champs Elysees in an RS4 is a posers paradise, if you're that way inclined [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Plough your own furrow mate - don't take the lead from the oil buring French [img]images/graemlins/rocketwhore.gif[/img] who, I'm sure you'll find, will certainly give you car the respect and attention it deserves. [img]images/graemlins/greyrs4.gif[/img]

There are several of them, depends where you were cruising around Paris. In my neighborhoodd (western suburbs of Paris, Neuilly + Levallois), I bumped into two Daytona RS6s and one Avus RS4 in the past weeks, plus there's one S6 and one S4 in my block.

If you keep your Swiss license plate, then the Peripheric can be fun. If not, watch out cause the speed is limited to 80km/h (blah...) and there are more and more speed traps.

The recent A14 which goes from La Defense underground to join the A13 after St-Germain-en-Laye is a really fun one : it's a toll-one, probably the most expensive one in France for only 15km -so little traffic outside peak hours- but it's a full corridor all the way long, due to high noise-cancelling glass walls, with great asphalt and perfect lighting. Fells like a video game, "a la POD".

You also got the large toll-booth of A6 and A10 about 30km south of Paris where you can do a full power unleash with more than 15 lanes in front of you before they narrow to 4-5 lanes after 2km. No speed traps as far as I know.

Cruising on the Champs-Elysees on a Saturday evening is NOT a good idea, except if you own a Red or Yellow RS4 which are rarely car-jacked. As a general rule, taking a supercar to Downtown Paris on a Saturday evening is a risky gamble : traffic jams, scratches, drunken drivers, pushy parking manoeuvers, agressions are part of experience.
