Filmed by the Lumière brothers in the dawn of film. They added sound for ambiance, the original was silent. Very clear video showing what it was like 120+ years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjDclfAFRB4 |

revontuli:Pls do. France has amazing sites . You'd also enjoy amazing shopping in their malls in Paris. The below is Eiffel tower. I took the photograph of it during my visit recently. The ground floor was under renovation as of then. I also snapped pictures there but can't display my face here, lol. I'm a public figure so, I like keeping my identity anonymous here as always .

awelekiti:I think I will avoid the malls, I have sensory processing disorder and I can go to noisy places only with earplugs. But the malls have far more stimuli than noise, it literally makes me ill to spend more than 5 minutes there. I think I'll be more interested i the architecture, historical places, museums. If you are a public figure in Nigeria I wouldn't recognize you anyway, I don't even recognize the public figures where I live Not a good idea to go there in major holiday season cause of islamist terrorist attacks. But the city is so beautiful with all the history and geat arctitecture, I should go if I can find a travel companion (I can't travel on my own to unfamiliar big cities cause of my sensory processing problems and dyspraxia issues) so I will go when one of my friends is going. |

awelekiti:Amazing shopping? Please, what do you mean by amazing shopping? If it is in terms of price, I didn't see anything amazing or could it be the place I stayed? |

awelekiti:I know Chalet but... at the time I was buying gifts wasn't so sure of the quality. So I ended up restricting my shopping to quatre temps.Maybe next time. Thanks. |

lastclaire4:You're welcome bro. please visit there someday and shop, you'd have a different shopping experience in a noiseless and secure environment. There are side attractions too up the mall where you'd see some magicians performing tricks with their dogs and parrots, lol |

awelekiti:Lol I am a babe. If it is security where I stay is top notch as in top notch. I see those magicians in the malls but... I am on the move to go out to places. Thanks for opening my eye |

lastclaire4:hehe. Ok babe. If you're planning your next summer holiday in France, you may let me know and I'd sure be your tour guide. I visit there quite often. We have a manufacturer there in Tours |

awelekiti:I'm in Finland. Not a big fan of shopping malls and shopping unnecessary things, anyway. I'd rather take photos of the architecture, historical buildings and museum artifacts. Photos don't weigh anything! Or cost anything. |
