Around 700 French executives and business chiefs zoomed down Paris' famed Champs Elysees avenue on battered blue mopeds Sunday in a bid to combat a climate of economic gloom.

Decked out in matching blue capes and pink helmets, the bosses zipped down the boulevard on their Motobecane mopeds, much beloved in France during the 1970s.

Organisers said the event was an "apolitical" attempt to boost confidence in the French economy -- which is expanding, though barely -- and show solidarity with employees.

"It's an anti-crisis, anti-gloom message," organiser Dominique Ravon told AFP. "The goal is for entrepreneurs and their employees to come and show that everything is alright."

Remi Peraud, a bank manager with the Banque Populaire who took part in the two-wheeled demo, said he wanted to show that "bosses know how to have fun".
