France: Paris Ambiences

Famous for its gourmet food, fine wines, stunning architecture, famous monuments and fashion, Paris is an incredibly beautiful European city which attracts visitors from all over the world, be it for a romantic getaway or a cultural break. We wandered around this vast city recording a huge collection of varied ambiences to bring you an audio snapshot of the bustling French city and its unique soundscapes. Travel with us from the banks of the River Seine, high up the Eiffel tower and on to the affluent neighbourhood of Passy before heading to the cobbled streets of Montmartre through to Pigalle and the Moulin Rouge. Along the way we captured busy city centre streets brimming with both locals and tourists, heavy traffic featuring lots of bicycles and motorbikes, both favourite modes of transport for Parisians, quiet back streets, urban parks and restaurants full of diners. We also made sure to record transport hubs like Charles de Gaulle Airport, train stations and the Paris Metro to ensure you have everything you need for projects requiring sounds of the French capital.
