France - Paris - Aerial view of Avenue des Champs Elysees

Viewed from the top of the Arc de triumph in the centre of Paris, the French capital, we see tiny human figures going about their daily business, a hurried frenzy of activity at street level far below. This street is the Avenue des Champs Elysees, one of the most famous of European boulevards and the multi-lane road that stretches away into the distance - from l'Etoile to Place de la Concorde - is dissected with zebra crossings over which more pedestrians negotiate the Parisian traffic that has stopped on a red light. Otherwise small figures walk along the pavement (sidewalk) and some disappear into an underground Metro entrance.
