Thanks to Jewel Loree from Tableau Public, I found a dataset about Airbnb. The timing was excellent because I had to choose an Airbnb accomodation for a training in Luxembourg a few weeks ago. When I discovered the website Inside Airbnb, I was suprised to find a lot of CSV files concerning several cities around the world. As a French, I chose to start my analysis with Paris but actually, I downloaded all the files to build the visualisation below.
IronViz time is here! This post is about my entry for the Wiki Contest. I have to admit that it was difficult to find a topic. First, I told me that it was too difficult to find a good and interesting topic with enough data and enough time to prepare these data... but in fact I found a topic yesterday evening during the Tableau User Group in Paris. During a conversation with co-leaders, they told me that we have to tell everybody : "French people do Tableau too !" That is why I choose to do a viz about The Eiffel Tower. I think it is a great construction and a great symbol for France!
You can find the viz just below. I tried to tell a story with the data of Wikipedia. I tried to present information about visitors, about the construction and the replicas. I put the sources just after the viz.
This post will be updated soon with more information about the method and the data.

Thank you for the reading! And please vote for me!
This second post is here to relate you my IronViz in Seattle. Already one month and I can tell this was a dream !! Indeed, 3 weeks before the #DATA14, I would not able to predict this journey. That was an unbelievable adventure. For me and my wife (she accepts to be with me in a conference linked to my job !) it was my first time to the United States of America !! And it was amazing ! Each person I met in Seattle was gentle and lovely. I can espacially thank Tara Walker, Jewel Loree and Ross Perez from Tableau Software, and Jeffrey Shaffer and John Mathis my contestants for their welcome. They were very gentle with me in spite of the language !
