French slackliner crosses the Seine from the Eiffel Tower in breathtaking stunt

However, this is not the first time Paulin has attempted this feat -- he previously walked a similar route from the Eiffel Tower in December 2017, for a televised charity fundraiser.

At some points sitting down and lying on the slackline during Saturday's performance, Paulin's performance drew rapturous applause from crowds watching below and from the Eiffel Tower. Slacklining is similar to tightrope walking but involves a wire that has not been stretched taut, but rather moves with the user. Paulin's slackline was suspended 70 meters above ground, according to news agency Reuters.
