In Paris, movers tired of the parking headache: “It’s haphazard”

At 7:30 a.m., rue de la Faisanderie is still quiet. Four movers, all dressed in black outfits embroidered with the name of their company, smoke in front of this building in the 16th arrondissement of Paris that they have to empty. “We couldn’t park,” laments Jean-Noël, 60, pointing to the truck, parked 50 m away. Difficult to find a place in this small one-way street where there are many embassies. Orange cones have been installed to reserve the only available space in front of the door, while waiting for others to become available.
