Actually, I think this guy's attitude is typical of all the drivers I have seen in Paris.  Still, at 140 mph, it is a little quick.  So put on your astronaut diapers, belt up, and hang on....  (Be patient for it takes him  8 min 39 sec to make the drive.)

 "On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had ... all ; a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. 

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit. 

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets."
