The previous image showed the Eiffel Tower very well, even more clearly than the new one, along with the Seine, the bridges and the Musee d'Orsay. It was much more representative of Paris than the new one. This article is on the city of Paris, and La Defense is not in the city of Paris.

As I indicated in my edit comment, a 'Paris Skyline' presenting the towers of La Defense represents future (Grand) Paris, not Paris as it is today. Please stop trying to represent 'future Paris' (whatever it may be, or whatever it may be called), as 'actual truth'.

Adding in brief mention to Yellow vests movement in History section
The Yellow vest protests in Paris which were the epicenter of the whole France wide movement similar to the May 68 Protests ought to have at least a brief mention in the history section. The protests brought about major political changes to the French government of the time with Macron eventually raising the minimum wage, getting rid of the fuel tax hike, 'improved government accountability' etc. But only after weeks of massive demonstrations in Paris In which 287,000 protestors took part in at their peak in November and December of 2018. https://www.france24.com/en/20191116-a-year-of-insurgency-how-yellow-vests-left-indelible-mark-on-french-politics https://www.francetvinfo.fr/live/message/5bf/059/0a5/ff4/e90/12a/7ac/c79.html

i wish to change the Paris region offical estimated population number from 12.271.794 to 12,271,794 for its more grammatically correct and better pleasing to the eyes. Communistsam23 (talk) 10:56, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
Please show Paris landmarks, not La Defense
The new image at the top of the lead prominently shows La Defense, and mentions it in the caption, but La Defense is not in Paris. I suggest that the images in the lead should show only the major sites in the city, not places outside. Respectfully, SiefkinDR (talk) 10:01, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- I think the top image shows the vicinity of the Paris's most famous landmark pretty well. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 20:29, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
