We are in Paris, the capital and largest city of France.
The film opens with a small child walking toward the filmmaker, waving at him. Then, we see a monument of Alexandre Gustave Eiffel and the child from the first shot. The view changes to panoramic shots of Paris from above. The lens focuses on the Chaillot Palace (Palais de Chaillot) and then shows us footage of Paris's building structures and the Seine.
The film closes with the Arc de Triomphe and shots of the Seine.
