This five-minute video in rapid-fire French shows off some important sites as well as some everyday Parisian activities:
This drone footage shows several people (very illegally) climbing the outside of the Eiffel Tower at night. It's scary to watch, but depicts the tower's height very well!

And now for some more modern music: the iconic "Les Champs-Élysées" by Joe Dassin, a song from the 1970s about a two people who fall in love on the most famous street in the world:
Finally, take a look at following wordless montage of Parisian sites and street scenes from the beginning of the movie Midnight in Paris.

Add the ones that intrigue you most to your concept map of Paris!
PS: Here is a short, catchy song about the history of Paris; the video includes a model of what Paris may have looked like 1000+ years ago:
