 | Bois
de Boulogne : The modestly sized Bois de Boulogne, on
the western edge of the city, is endowed with forested areas, meandering paths,
belle époque cafes and little wells of naughtiness. Each night,
pockets of the Bois de Boulogne are taken over by prostitutes and lurkers with
predacious sexual tastes. In recent years, the police have cracked down on the
area's sex trade, but locals still advise against walking through the area alone
at night. The Bois de Boulogne was damaged in the storms of December 1999; its
renovation is due to be completed in 2004. |
