Odile, 76

I’d like a photo taken from the rooftop terrace of my building. I live in the 19th arrondissement of Paris in a 26-story building. Up there, there’s an indoor pool with a view of the entire city and even beyond.

I’m thinking of a picture of this view. We need to make sure Paris is clearly visible, especially toward the south. It’s up to you to choose a vantage point that represents and captures the essence of the city. The panorama should convey something very representative—a typical view featuring the Centre Pompidou. I love that museum; I often go there when I’m feeling well. I’d also like to see Notre Dame in the picture. I think we can include both in the same photograph—a blend of the old and the new. That would really capture what Paris is all about.   

You’ll need to find a way to get to the top of the building, as I believe access is currently restricted due to the health situation.

It would be a photo that I could then give to my grandchildren.
