But nothing beats the view of the birds’ eye.
This is why, Jacques Olivier Travers, head of not-for-profit organization FREEDOM, released a white-tailed eagle with a camera strapped to its back, from the Eiffel tower, to provide the people with a glimpse of how the world's most romantic city looks from an eagle's perspective.
A Sony HDR-AZ1 Action Cam Mini, which is considered Sony's answer to the GoPro, was mounted on the eagle’s back when flying over the Seine and down into the Trocadéro Gardens at 111 miles per hour.
The crowd-funding group aim to re-introduce the white-tailed eagle into its natural habitat in the French and Swiss Alps, after being extinct from France for over 50 years.
Below is the video recorded by the camera. Enjoy!
