I'm on vacation in Paris. Took these shots near the Champs-Élysées!

Very cool, thanks for posting!

On a side note, if you go to Google street view of that dealership, there is a silver IS300h sitting in the window (along with a white RX, which is quite possibly the same one that's in your photo).

Cool shot . . . . . . . . It may be the smallest, but if it is on that street, the value of the real estate alone will make your head spin! And I am talking millions. Euros or dollars, doesn't matter!

I've done that with the 2IS, I saw one in Helsinki and I even saw an ultrasonic blue ISF in the countryside of Montenegro. I know I've seen others in my travels but off of the top of my head I can't remember where and would have to dig through my millions of photos.

Enjoy Paris...sigh...wishing I was in Paris!

Man.....wish our headlights had the clear rather than amber lens like the rest of the world.
Looks so much cleaner.

From what I remember, all the dealerships on or near Champs-Élysées, were extremely small. Only a few cars inside of them, kind of like mini-lots.

Ever been inside a typical apartment in Paris? It would all make sense then

That Bugatti is proof that money does NOT buy taste. Loving the Ferrari though!

Haven't been to Paris since I was a kid, have been to the south of France though I'll get back to Paris one of these days.... Doing Prague and then a river cruise Nuremberg to Budapest this winter to see the Christmas markets and I'll be sure to look for 3IS's and 2IS's
