Google Place de concorde
It will come up with the exact area. head SW in the image and there
is a bridge. At the north end of the bridge, to the east is his
Pineche. Its riverside, second row. the bad news is that an awning
destroys the view.
He puts the car on land with ramps that lead from the stern, and he
puts the car in water with a crane.
For those of you that have recently asked and that follow along,the
12th NASA NEEMO Undersea mission has started here in Key Largo. You
can follow along at
http://www.uncw.edu/aquarius/ and
www.nasa.gov/neemo

RE: Re: Amphicar on Paris Houseboat
Hi All,>>

I went to the bridge at the Southern end
of the Place de la Concorde, after checking out the image on Google Earth.>>
>>
And there it was, on he
rear deck, just like the picture on www.Amphicars.com
except from close up you can see
that it doesn’t get out much. Although it’s on axle stands, the tires
look flat. Maybe they just look that way.>>
>>
Next time I’m over, I hope to have
made contact with he owner, and found out the “rules of the road”
for getting wet in the lace>Seinelace>. My restoration should be done in time for summer!!! (not saying which summer)>>
