Footage of ‘80s Paris, France.

Clip opens with a shot of the Luxor Obelisk, a free-standing granite column, taken to be the oldest monument in Paris. Then there’s a long shot of the Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile; in the foreground is a traffic-filled avenue, possibly the Avenue des Champs-Élysées.

Couples and families stroll down sidewalks. Cafés and/or restaurants provide outdoor seating under large umbrellas. Seem like great spots for people-watching.

The statue of a horse, on its hind legs, stands in a running fountain. Traffic heads toward the camera. 

An aerial shot of the Eiffel Tower is followed by another shot of the Obelisk, though behind a running fountain. And the final shot is of, yet again, the Arc de Triomphe.
