France - Paris - Aerial view of 15th arrondissement

Seen from a mid-level of the Eiffel Tower, we are looking down on the 15th arrondissement of Paris. Before us are the rooftops of apartment buildings in one of the 20 arrondissements (administrative districts) of the capital city of France. Just adjacent of the Rive Gauche (left bank) of the River Seine and sharing the Montparnasse district with the 6th and 14th arrondissements, it is the city's most populous arrondissement with an area of 8.5 sq km (3.3 sq miles, or 2,101 acres). Many have lead or zinc roofs that are seen as grey material on the tops of these urban homes. It's so bright that some residents have lowered blinds to keep glare out of their cool rooms that overlook other parts of Paris, its trees and curved, narrow streets..
