I wouldn't call that the "countryside". I'd simply say the suburbs.

Great aerials.

Nice to see some highrises in the city of Paris as well.
This picture is perfect.

It's an interesting picture.
The Stade de France is visible behind the Sacré Coeur.

That is all I have to say about these shots.

AMAZING shots

Well done!

Stunning. Seeing pictures like these, I get the feeling mankind can't do any better at designing a city. I'm always blown away at how dense the city looks.

une des grandes capitales du monde.

Those new bits have great density.

Was at Tour Montparnasse several years ago! The best thing is that you can actually see the Eiffel tower.

Crawford · #33 Posted **Jul 12, 2015, 6:22 PM**

I'm actually eating at the restaurant on top of this tower in a few weeks. Can't wait!

Nice bump. Beautiful pics.

They look ugly as hell, and being right on the river and next to Champ de Mars it must be extremely valuable land.

Are there plans to renovate/re-clad them?

Everyone hates Tour Montparnasse...it's hard to ignore but Centre Pompidou makes my soul hurt.

Still, fabbo photos.

I don't get the hate for Tour Montparnasse, it's a simple and quite elegant tower that fits paris perfectly, it also offers the best views of the center of the city.

Jaw-droppingly stunning. Really, words cannot do these shots justice. So glad gatt resurrected this thread.

i wouldn't go as far as elegant, but it is inoffensive in and of itself. and of course it doesn't fit, but that was the point. otherwise, i don't get the hate either. certainly these views more than make up for the, err, gall it took to build it. i would think everyone is glad they clamped down on building more though, that is for sure. anyway some views and great thread!
