  I loved that amphitheater when I lived in Paris.  I used to take my lunch there all the time.  It's surprisingly peaceful, aside from the occasional ball being kicked into your head.

  These videos are awesome.<br><br>I was stationed in Germany and got to visit Paris a few times. Everyone always jokes about how proud Parisians are. Having scene and experienced the city, I completely understand. They have every right to be proud.

  This is a very good summary of the major stages in the development of the Paris we know today. When Baron Haussmann tore down half of medieval Paris and replaced it with stone fronted classical buildings in a uniform society, much of Paris hated it, it was too modern for them. Now we regard his layouts as the finest and most beautiful planned city in the world.

  The creation of the extra wide streets by Hausmann wasn&apos;t just to make the city beautiful it was actually to facilitate movement of troops through the city to quash any more uprisings or revolutions.

  I love your editing style and how the video cuts between old maps, satellite imagery, and photo/video depictions. I also love how the editing matches well with the story told. Can’t wait for more!

  I don&apos;t know if you have been living in France but your French accent/prononciation is very good for a foreigner, thanks for the video

  Small Addition: Place de Grève was one of the few open space of Medieval Paris because it was the river port of Paris at the time. Medieval Paris is a very &quot;naval&quot; and commercial city thanks to the Seine connection to the sea, and Place de Grève was where all the ocean and river traffic landed on the shore. For a while the merchant class dominated the city politics, formed the powerful guild of &quot;Hanse Parisienne des Marchands de l&apos;eau&quot;, which emblem, a ship in the waves, later became the emblem of Paris. This naval tradition is also why the city hall of Paris is located at Place de Grève.
