This is awesome! Since I've wanted to TRY to take a picture like this every time I'm in Paris I was looking at your EXIF. Was the long lens the key to this shot or could something shorter have worked? I'll be in Paris this summer and finally have a decent camera so I'm sure I'll join the throng of people standing in the middle of the C-E trying to take something 1/1000th as good as this. Come to think of it, there is one great reason for a long lens. You seem to be pretty far east so I guess that helped get the slope of the street and kept you out of the path of a lot of the tourists. Merci en avance!
