Let’s forget for a moment the arduous Paris, the everyday
Paris, and look at the capital in a new light. What if Paris
were nothing but a giant playing field? What if the roads,
the monuments, the statues and the history of the capital were
the pretext for a thousand questions? The questions that

the other two far-fetched, deceptive, treacherous at times. But
be careful! In exceptional cases, more than one answer
may be correct. Will you be able to recognize them?
