Description:

Atop the two towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral, a metal structure has been built to serve as docks for balloon-like aircraft shaped like fish. A large clock dominates the station, above which sits a two-story building that houses a café and a restaurant.

The caption reads in the original French: Station centrale des aéronefs à Notre-Dame.
