Paris: Looking for website with video of neighborhoods?

When I was planning my trip to Paris last year, I came across a website (recommended here) that had a live((?) I think) camera going in different neighborhoods in Paris. In fact you could look at just about any street and see people walking around, look at stores on the street, etc. I used it to decide on what hotel to stay in. Does anyone know the website? I didn't save it. I've done some searches here and am not finding it. Help is appreciated.

Both interesting, but they're not what I was thinking of. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Did you try my link?

For an address,I can get a satellite 3-D view, a map of the area, info on public transit to the area, I can populate the map of that location with local restaurants/bakeries, then I can get a photo of the front of the building and 'walk" down the street.

cigale, I had not seen the geobeats videos. I am heading to France in 5 weeks, so this has really whet my appetite, in more ways than one! We are traveling with another couple, so I have just forwarded the link to them to enjoy.

Thank you so much!

You're right, Michel. I think yours is the website I was looking for. I did click on the link earlier, but it didn't look familiar at first sight, and I didn't want to wade through the French. But I just messed around with it and I believe that's it. Thanks so much!
