Our tour picks back up with a trip to La Madeleine - one of the city's most recognizable churches. Originally designed as a temple to the glory of Napoleon's army - its Greek style sets it apart from the rest. Since its completion in 1842, it's been one of the most popular attractions in the city.

The Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe is one of the most beautiful theaters in the city and one of France's six national theaters.

The Palais Garnier is one of Paris' most grand opera houses - opened in 1875, it's a true masterpiece.

The next stop is one of Paris' most unique landmarks - the Centre Pompidou. Completed in 1977, this enormous colored building is covered in a maze of pipes going in every direction - and has housed a popular art museum ever since.

Our last stop today is one of the world's most famous landmarks - the Eiffel Tower. Completed in 1889 for the Universal Exposition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution - this 986 foot tall tower became the world's tallest freestanding structure for over 40 years. It's remained an icon of Paris and France ever since.

Excellent traffic animation, so smooth and natural looking.  The loop point is only slightly noticeable.  Paris sure is a beautiful city, so many important landmarks of transition to the new world.

Some great usage of amazing BATs there, and really nice to see them what is a recognisable SC4 atmosphere, and yet still at the Korver level :P

Already there! Great pictures again.

If I may make a small critic (How do I dare, everything is perfect), maybe you could use some SAM cobblestone and asphalt streets. Or maybe it's what you'll do for the last update? Montmartre maybe? :)

Makes we want to walk along Quais du Seine again looking for the bouquinistes. Behind the trees they are, aren't they?

Impressive. I've been living in Paris for two years a while ago, and the only thing I can say is you really caught the Paris vibe. I was walking down memory lane as I was watching your two last updates.

Chapeau !

@RobertLM78 Thank you very much for the nice words as always *:)

@The British Sausage Thank you!

@RandyE Thank you very much! Took a while to get it just right, glad you liked it.

@_Michael Thank you! Glad you liked it, certainly took a while to track down all the right BATs.  

@feyss Thanks for the nice words and feedback! Some of the streets looked halfway between normal roads and cobblestone so it made things a bit difficult, but I'll keep that in mind in the future for some of the side streets *;)

@Fantozzi Thanks for the comment! I think they must be behind the trees *;)

@mike_oxlong Thanks alot for the nice words!

@Mr Saturn64 Thank you very much!

@kingofsimcity Thank you very much! Glad you liked it.

@Haljackey Thanks for the comment! *:)

@TekindusT Glad you liked it *:D

@SC4L0ver Thanks for the nice words! Always nice to hear that from someone who lived in the city! *:thumb: Glad you enjoyed it.
