A low-angle shot shows a wide stone plaza with a fountain in the foreground and an elaborate building in the background, under a mostly clear blue sky. The building is a symmetrical, multi-story structure with classical architectural elements such as columns, arched windows, and a central clock tower. The French flag is visible above the entrance. The plaza is paved with gray cobblestones. The fountain consists of a series of shallow pools with water jets. People are sitting on benches near the fountain, and others are walking around. In the foreground, a man rides a black bicycle from left to right. He is wearing a black shirt and dark shorts. He has a messenger bag slung across his shoulder and a basket attached to the front of his bike.
