1 The eternal flame at the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile.
2 An Uber motorcycle, where the passenger on her cellphone doesn't feel the need to pay attention to the road.
3 and 4 show a Lamborghini car rental on the Champs-Élysées, to take a spin around Paris .
5 to 7 show buildings along the Champs-Élysées, including the amazingly popular Five Guys hambuger place.
8 to 11 show the Panthéon, originally built 1758-1790 by Louis XV to be a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, but after the French Revolution, it
became a mausoleum for the remains of distinguished French citizens, modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, used in this way since the 16th century.
The galette (crépe) is from the imaginatively named La Créperie, and it was good.
12 The band plays on, at a café near the Panthéon.
