-
which is outside of Paris but you can see it if you stand,
-

-
you can see it beyond the Arc d'Triomphe--
-
and that's where lots of business is,
-

-
But generally the French have been very good of trying to protect Paris
-
from the planners who would destroy the way the place looks with an
-
Americanized kind of architecture.

There've been other problems too.
-
The constructions at Place d'Italie and the Tour Montparnasse became
-
only the most famous.
