Paris mayor plans to pedestrianise city centre
The Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo has plans to pedestrianise the centre of the French capital, which includes landmarks such as Notre Dame Cathedral, according to BBC.
The plans would severely restrict traffic in the city's first four districts, known as arrondissements, with electric shuttles brought in as an alternative, AFP reported.
Traffic is currently limited in the central arrondissements on one Sunday a month.
Ms Hidalgo says she wants to expand this scheme - known as "Paris breathes" - to every Sunday by next year.
