Thanks for posting this. Something else to look for in Paris!
I knew four of those. I did not know the shortest or the lowest.
I knew only one... Ave Foch. It is lined with chessnut trees. It was a random fact I picked up on my last trip when looking for WWII history (84 Avenue Foch).
I love trivia! Got more?
