Evening cyclist at Place des Ternes, Paris
Cyclist at Place des Ternes, Paris evening traffic. A bicyclist with a backpack waits astride a single‑speed bike at a busy intersection at Place des Ternes on the border of Paris’s 8th and 17th arrondissements. Cars and a white delivery van circle the roundabout as storefronts and a news kiosk glow at dusk. The Belle Époque façade of Brasserie La Lorraine is visible across the square, along with direction signs to Porte d’Asnières, the Périphérique, Place de Wagram, and Porte de Clichy. Trees line the square’s cobblestones, and an illuminated ad for a luxury brand is posted on the kiosk, typical of evening rush hour near the Arc de Triomphe corridor.
