@TheKurtz76 Thanks for the compliment. The sign shown at 34:52 is on the north side of the boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement. The camera is looking towards the Opéra Garnier, and the Café de la Paix is visible in the background (green awning).
@kamillianne Ah … those are direct entrances into the underground stone quarries of Paris, of which the Catacombs are a part. They look like normal manholes, but they're not. There are more than 100 miles of underground quarries in Paris, mostly on the Left Bank.
Great idea. You have just shown me many things(like the Wallace Fountains)that I have walked by and not even noticed. But in 1964 I liked the pissoirs and I miss them now that they are gone.
@joebstewart There's one street urinal left, on the boulevard Arago, and I think there may also be one hidden in the Luxembourg Gardens. I probably should have included that. However, there's tons and tons of street furniture to cover, and as it is I gathered stuff for months before editing it all into a video (it takes a long time to collect images of all the different things in the city), and I finally had to saw it off at some point and make the video, so some things are missing.
Grazie Mxsmanic.
What's the name of the avenue @ 34:52?
Great work!

@Mxsmanic
thanks!
I'm totally krazy for that kind of facades of nineteenth-century Parisian buildings.
I love it.
