Paris video city walk

Paris is unusually consistent at street level, and that is the point of walking it. The buildings hold the same height for kilometres, the pavements stay wide, and the interest comes from what people are doing on them: the tables that colonise the kerb, the queue outside a bakery, the way a boulevard empties and refills with the light. These walks stay on foot and on the pavement, without commentary, so the rhythm is the city’s rather than an edit’s.

Common questions

What do two of the four Paris walks cover?

One is a long summer daytime walk through the centre, with the terraces full. The other is the same city after dark, when the lit shopfronts do most of the work and the crowds thin into something quieter.

Can I hide the controls?

Yes. The chevron collapses the dock to a single small button, leaving the walk on the full screen.
