SYNOPSIS: Join me on my walk to work, but this time with a difference! I take the brand new Paris tram (T3). Opened on Saturday 16 December, it runs across the three southerly arrondissements in Paris (XIII, XIV and XV) from Porte d’Ivry (in the East) to Pont du Garigliano (West). I can now take it 3 stops to get to work.
