At 70 meters from the ground and on a tightrope of just 2.5 centimeters, the French tightrope walker Nathan Paulin walked the 600 meters that separate the Eiffel Tower from Paris from the Chaillot Theater crossing the Seine. The feat was followed by a crowd that gathered on both banks of the river to see this 27-year-old in action.
“It was not easy walking 600 meters, concentrating, with everything around, with the pressure … but it was still beautiful,” he declared after completing his feat, which he performed to celebrate the Heritage Day of France of this September 18, in which several historical buildings and monuments that usually remain closed are opened to the public.
Paulin, who holds several world records, I was curiously afraid of heights as a child, but he ended up becoming one of the best tightrope walkers on the planet. The photos of his latest feat are breathtaking.
