Once in a blue moon, one of the streets in Paris will be temporarily closed or blocked for different occasions/events. I was around Pere LaChaise, a popular cemetery in Paris on one of the weekends in March and all the sudden, there was this big crowd of roller skaters passing by. The traffic had to be blocked for about 15 minutes.
When I traveled here the very first time, I was surprised to see quite a few people roller skating on the cobblestone streets. How smooth and professional! I mean I just couldn't imagine myself doing it. Only a normal walking, I trip a countless number of times so forget roller skating... Anyway, it's become one of the French things that I've come to like. Especially during the summer, you will see more people skating which is nice. It does add some movement, liveliness and energy to the city, indeed.
