  Title: City of Paris, France
  Description:
  This highly detailed view of the City of Paris 49.0N, 0.0E) shows a varied 
  land use pattern in great detail.  Several airports are clearly seen such
  as  the two major international airports of Orly and Le Bourget.  Paris was 
  founded in pre-Roman times on an island in the Seine River and continued as
  a  Roman outpost.  The easily defensible location was one of the keys to
  growth.  Other factors include easy access by river and the productive
  hinterland.
