360 Degree Paris - Tapa dura

Also known as the 'City of Lights', Paris is one of Europe's most stimulating and romantic cities. From the narrow streets and smoky cafes of the Left Bank to the magnificent Notre Dame cathedral, the French capital is a stunning panorama of celebrated monuments and sights. 360[degrees] is a totally new concept, a way of seeing the world in the round. With specially-commissioned pictures taken as if you were at the centre of the scene, you can see sweeping images of some of the greatest sites in Paris, both inside and out. From the Louvre Museum with its surging fountains, to a lively cabaret bar and one of Paris's many patisseries, these are just some of the scenes that take on fascinating new dimensions when photographed in this unique way. An accompanying CD contains quick-time movies of 360[degrees] views, allowing you to 'travel' through a scene on your Mac or PC. Accompanied by quirky and informative captions, each of the wonderful photographs pays tribute to the city's rich cultural heritage and vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere.
