It's late afternoon on the last Sunday in June, the date
every year since 1857 of the Paris Grand Prix at Longchamp
Racecourse. The people riding in the carriages are on their
way home from the Bois de Bologne headed for L'Etoile, named for
the five roads that converged there in the 18th century. Now
12 avenues radiate from the Arch of Triumph that celebrates
the victories of Napoleon.
By the way, it was Napoleon III who opened Longchamp.
