Paris Photo from Bing Today
 
The Bing background photo today is at http://tinyurl.com/k4mte7k. This is a time exposure in the evening. It was probably taken from the top of the Arc de Triomphe showing Avenue des Champs Élysées toward Concorde, I think.

I believe you are correct. They must have added a few seasonal trees to the blvd. The view from the top of the Arch is where I got some of the best pictures, even if I only had my iPhone.

That photo is at least 5 years old, because the holiday lighting of the Champs Elysées is completely different now. You'd think that they would at least have the decency to post a photo from this year.

Maybe you could go and take one for us? You live there.

Here's whole report about Christmas in Paris, but I still have a memory card full of photos to add to it -- check back tomorrow: http://anyportinastorm.proboards.com...ad=6844&page=1

Those are nice. Been there and done this. http://tinyurl.com/mn8wwm9, and many others, but 7 years old.

Do you have a current photo from the top of the Arc?

No, I keep planning to return, but I am waiting for low season -- after Christmas.
