Christmas Tree Limo

Why should your Christmas tree be squeezed into the trunk of a car or shoved around in the metro during rush hour? Not this year! It can take an environmentally friendly ride on a bike just like every other self-respecting Parisian ecologist. And also have a private chauffeur to boot!
