Oùcécap’s take

The Hôtel de Ville is the simplest landmark for the Centre Pompidou: from there, aim due north, at 0°, 0.5 km. From the Louvre it is due east, at 93°, 1.2 km away, and the bearing hardly changes from the Eiffel Tower, 87°, 4.2 km off. From Notre-Dame, turn north, to 12°, 0.9 km. It stands on the Right Bank.
