Drive in a Ferrari through the streets of Paris - A while back (perhaps even a year ago) I made mention of a map that was created using Google Maps of the 1978 short film, "Rendezvous" set in Paris. The map has been taken a step further on bhendrix.com where the film is played in a small Google Video window, while below the route is drawn for you as the film progresses. Switch to satellite mode and you can follow along all the twists and turns this Ferrari 275 GTB makes as the driver speeds toward his awaiting lover. It's a pretty wild ride! (Follow the instructions carefully and be sure to hit the "GO" button right at the 4 second mark!)More Google Maps mashups from France (All are in French language):

According to Wikipedia, the driving video is a hoax. Check out wikipedia's page on the director.
Hello
This video is not a hoax. This is a short movie of the great Director Claude Lelouch.
If you want more explanations about this movie, you can see the documentary/making-Off (in french) made in may 2006 where, Claude Lelouch explained how he made this movie. Very interesting.
... the sound came from a Ferrari but the car was a Mercedes (more smooth for the camera)
