For those who thought they were brave before, taking a look at this amazing documentary titled 'Skyliners' by Sebastien Montaz-Rosset may have you fearing new heights. Within this [daredevil documentary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruz-beers1), four French acrobats dare to tightrope along two Parisian buildings, which are known to be some of the highest in France!

The Sebastien Montaz-Rosset Skyliners documentary showcases heights of over 115ft and stomach-turning views of the city beneath. I have to admit, just watching this video has my stomach turning and palms getting sweaty -- granted, I have a fear of heights, but I'm sure many people would agree this video is pretty insane!
