The image is striking.

For several months, the rue de Rivoli, in Paris, which links the Place de la Bastille to the Concorde, has been largely reserved for bicycles.

Only one - thin - lane remains reserved for taxis and delivery vehicles.

In the capital and most of the big metropolises, the place of the car is decreasing sharply.

This has consequences for certain players closely linked to this motorized world: parking operators.
