[[?]] Arc de Triomphe in the rising distance as viewed from the Place de la Concorde...

Le Pont Neuf and Henry the 4th (His crossing of the bridge with "France on his shoulders.")

The island where the Seine divides - the real cité that is referred to by the inhabitants to this day.

The original streets of the original city where the width was but a few feet and the gutter was in the center.
