Place des Vosges: Photographer Jeffrey Milstein's straight-down images of Paris were taken on two rarely granted flights directly over the city. They're featured in his new book "Paris: From the Air."

Pyramide du Louvre: "One of the nicer symbolic images of old and new is the pyramid, the I.M. Pei pyramid, in the courtyard of the Louvre," said Milstein.

Arc de Triomphe: The book also features angled shots of the city's neighborhoods and famous monuments, including the Arc de Triomphe.

Centre Pompidou: Most of this contemporary art museum's functional elements -- including electrical cables and water and sewer pipes -- are located on the building's exterior.

Gardens at Versailles: Images of Louis XIV's formal gardens and elaborate palace were captured on separate flights over Versailles.
