NIGHT IN PARIS

Night view of Paris with the Seine, Eiffel Tower, Grand Palais and the Champs Elysées, as seen from the Grande Roue,  near Place de la Concorde (foreground). The 65-meter high Ferris wheel--more currently known as an observation wheel--with thank-the-stars heated cabins is a seasonal attraction usually set up for the winter holidays.

Vocabulary
la grande roue:  the big wheel
faire la roue:  to turn cartwheels
