Drone Racing on Champs-Elysees Paris

The Champs-Elysees was the setting of a mini-air show as amateur drone enthusiasts flew their high-tech toys over the famed Paris avenue in the city’s first festival celebrating the gadgets.

The afternoon festival included a race and demonstrations of the remote-controlled devices, which are increasingly used as toys as well as for surveillance, aerial photography and in the secretive US counter-terror campaign.

“It’s really magical to be at a site like the Champs-Elysees, one of the most famous places in the world,” Dunkan Bossian, 19, said.
