La Tour Eiffel et la Grande Roue



La Tour Eiffel et la Grande Roue


From this one position, without even turning your head, you can see the Eiffel Tower, the 200-ft tall ferris wheel, the Obélisque de Louxor (75 ft high) in Place de la Concorde, and you can see the flag atop the dome of the Grand Palais.

From this perspective it seems that you could almost reach out and touch the obelisk... and perhaps the Grand Palais.
