Absolutely no way you can speed like that nowadays. There is just waaay too much traffic, even at 1am in the coldest January morning.
In fact, I don't think I've ever seen Les Champs Elysees with fairly clear traffic. And I must disagree with the few who jokingly suggested drive to Germany. Paris is tough to beat by any standard. |

It's definitely impossible to drive like that in Paris nowadays. I spent a few days there with a rental car last September and, honestly, I'd rather have been at work than on that "vacation." I've been to Paris a lot and just don't like it. Taking a car there makes it worse. Driving in the rest of France is relatively civilized, but driving in Paris blows. Driving in Germany is wonderful, total order and lawfulness. Love it.

I have been on a few very fast drives in Paris with a mad Parisian at the wheel. Not for the faint of heart.  Ian
