Everytime I drive through Paris from whichever direction the signs always give a journey time to BP but where is BP have asked a few people yet no one seems to know, the times are bit of a waste of time if no one knows where BP is
…Boulevard Peripherique. The Parisian version of the M25, only a bit smaller and much, much more fun!! 
moreso in a right hand drive truck…though it has its plus points coming off at Porte d’Auteuil next to the A 13. and getting lost around the bois de bolougne area for a time? you would be amazed at how many campervans appear to have broken down 
lol thanks for the answers quite obvious when you think about it I guess. much more entertaining than the m25 tho especially in the summer with all those French women to look at

I see these signs every week LOL - As has been said its the Parapharique and also if its says Fluide that means no hold ups and Bouchon means delays

Don’t have time for that mazzer, take your eye off the ball and your knacked!!!
Ha Ha best advice I was given about using the peripherique was,once you get on it get in 2nd lane and don’t change lanes till you are coming off,sound advice.
regards dave.
would it sill only be me that’s got lost in the bois de bolougne then?

Don’t think it matters were you come off dd,one wrong turn and it can be like being in a maze lol.
regards dave.
well the eye candy just off port d auteuil kinda makes it worthwhile taking the wrong turning in there…
BP get in second lane and headlights on and stay there till your exit
And watch out for that Scottish motorcycle traffic copper.
He must be about 80 years old by now Harry was told about him about 25 years ago

He was still patrolling the Peripherique about six months ago, he came past me going the other way, still wearing a kilt beneath his blue tunic and with still with some ginger hair poking out from beneath his crash helmet.
He was an absolute scourge back in the 1980’s, apparently his wife left him for an English lorry driver and the bitterness never went away. He moved to Paris, got a job with the Police Nationale, and spent the rest of his days victimising English truck drivers on the Peripherique. I was stopped and fined by him several times myself.
Of course, all of the above could just be “lorry driver ■■■■■■■■”.
I heard about the ginger bearded Scotish motorbiker French copper in the 1990’s.
Every truckstop he was mentioned all over Europe.
Did he exist ?
I kept my eyes peeled around Paris looking for a Gendarme wearing a kilt.
It was like spotting the Loch Ness monster.
True was Pinnocio who had a chip on his shoulder for UK drivers around the Cherbourg patch.
He stood at the roundabout at the top of the hill,looking for UK trucks.
The rumour was he was following too close behind a truck.The driver slammed on the brakes and he fell off breaking some bones.
