I didn't realize any of Paris' trams had tracks in lanes that are shared with cars, like in your photo 3 of Gennevilliers. Looking up that location on Google Maps, it seems to be in mixed-traffic on Rue Pierre Timbaud and Rue Felicie. Are there any other Paris tram lines in mixed traffic that you know of?

T6 has a small section with tracks on lanes that are shared with cars Route du Pavé Blanc in Clamart.
T1 has three small sections with tracks on lanes that are shared with cars.
Gennevilliers town center, Ile Saint-Denis and Rue Auguste Delaune in Saint Denis (car traffic is restricted to resident and delivery in this street).

Those four sections cover about 1.2 km, the longest section is the T1 in Ile Saint-Denis and the two bridges above the Seine river where almost 500m are mixed.
It is always because of the lack of space and the impossibility to close the road to traffic.

Ahhh Paris... "La joie de vive" and "Vive la difference".
I would like to see more of that whitish big building in the center of picture number 35 from someone if possible. Not the one in the foreground but the one in the background, it is relatively or quite, new that much I know. It looks pretty substantial too.

Regardless efficiency here, I find it appealing. Isn't it looking highly urban on picture 3? I like it. As a matter of fact, it looks better than grass dedicated lanes to me, but it's only because I find grass is disappointing in this context. I must repeat here, I hope they gradually replace grass by mineral paving, at least in areas worth of it.

Enjoyed this tour! Thanks for your pictures.

Some streets could be from any city of Spain, they´re similar.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

This is my answer.

Thanks to our crazy fascination for Japan's lights and graphics, we'll make something worldclass of la Défense.

Thanks Minato Ku for that post#10. Ok, Tour Majunga. Not a lot showing but it certainly gives a better idea of what it looks like than what I had before. I guess I'll just have to take and appreciate what I can get, for now anyway. I'm sure we will see more of it in time. It does look kind of cool but I'm thinking that there are more non-symmetrical angles on other side(s) of it, from photo#35at least.

Update - Emporis.com has several good shots of Tour Majunga.
