1. Bring History Alive.
Google Earth
Place de la Concorde
Heads roll in 1793, as Louis XVI
and Marie Antoinette face the
guillotine at the beginning of the
French Revolution.
The Louvre
Leonardo da Vinci moves to Paris in
1517, carrying an obscure painting
of a smiling woman in his baggage.
Mona Lisa now resides at this more
secure location.
Notre Dame
In 1163, workers begin building the
Cathedral of Notre Dame. 668 years
later, readers thrill to Victor Hugo’s
novel about a certain hunchback
and Esmerelda.
There’s history waiting to be discovered everywhere you turn in the streets of Paris – and now
you can visit these places right on your PC. Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps
and search to bring history and books alive in the City of Lights, and anyplace else in the
world that you care to drop in on. Download Google Earth for free at: http://earth.google.com
