Ecliptique panoramique is a site with stunning panoramas (QT required)... Most of the descriptions are in French only, but the photography is breathtaking.

That is ripping! Those images are absolutely awesome, panoramas are one of my favorite ways to see a place.

Thanks for passing it on.

How do they get the area right below the camera? Photoshop magic?

Usually with a panoscan system. Here is a short explanation.

This is great! I remember seeing something similar for Versailles back in '97 or so, but it looks like it has gone the way of the dodo. Thanks again!

Incroyable! Now I don't actually have to GO to France. Of course, you all know about this fabulous panoramas site, previously referred to on MeFi.
