We guarantee you've never seen the City of Love quite like this before. Thanks to a white-tailed eagle named Victor, a strap-on camera and a mesmerising swoop off Paris's most iconic landmark, we get a pretty special bird's-eye view of the French capital.

 

But aside from dazzling hundreds of onlookers who had gathered at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, Victor's aerial show also had a more serious objective. The Local reports that the event was staged by international outreach programme Freedom to raise awareness about white-tailed eagle conservation in the region. The species disappeared from France more than 50 years ago.

 

We featured another amazing Freedom video last year, with breathtaking aerial views of the northern slopes of the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps, also courtesy of a camera-toting eagle.
