No, not One Night In Paris -- that's a different kind of picture -- but Paris by Night: part of a 360-degree panorama of the City of Light you can find here. This tiny part of it shows the flank of Notre Dame looking towards La Tour Eiffel.RELATED: Architecture, Urban Design.

Fascinating. And this was the city the seemingly deranged Corbousier wished to demolish and replace with his crap.
Amen to that, george. I was in Paris just a couple of months ago, staying right opposite Notre Dame in the Saint Germain area and I fell in love with the city. The French have such a genuine love for and pride in their beautiful capital - words simply fail me.
A couple of years previously I was in India and, while India is superb for very different reasons, I had the misfortune to visit Chandigargh, which was designed by the nutter le Corbusier.
Thank God le Corbusier didn't get the opportunity to make a souless hell-hole like Chandigargh out of la belle Paris.
I wonder if le Corbusier was the one responsible for those ghetto-like concrete high rises that fringe Paris? I didn't see much of those so I can't say. But Paris itself.... omg!
