Formula E brought the long-time goal of a street course race in Paris to
fruition with this street course set up within sight of the Eiffel
Tower. The course was set up around Les Invalides, a collection of
French military museums and memorials that includes the tomb of France's
former emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

The City of Paris focused on sustainability when they built this
temporary circuit, all of the materials to set up the course were
brought in via the river Seine so they wouldn't need to use trucks. The
course layout required the Formula E cars to race over a section of road
paved with centuries-old cobblestones so the city carefully put down a
layer of protection over the historic pavement before putting down a
temporary asphalt surface on top of it. The asphalt was removed after
the race and recycled.

This track or Formula E's new Berlin Street Circuit was the 600th track
added to Racing-Reference (both were linked up at the same time).
