At 7:14 into the film, just after the intertitle "Quelques jours plus tard..." ("A few days later...") Max walks out of the train station and is looking out onto Paris. Prominently in front of him is the Eiffel tower and just to its right you can see the the Grande Roue de Paris. A 100-metre (~330 ft) tall Ferris wheel built in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle. Max points out both of these with his walking stick.
The Grande Rue de Paris was disassembled six years after this film was made in 1920. It had been the tallest Ferris wheel in the world until 1989 when the Cosmo Clock 21 was built in Yokohama, Japan, which was 107.5 metres (353 ft) tall.
