Jupiter in the night sky over Paris

Once walking around my daughter asked me what is that star shining most brightly on the night sky over Paris? Her question has over the barrel me. Is that a star? - obviously not - its disk has a discernible size, hence, this is a planet. Unfortunately, the photo I made does not transmit the real brightness due to high amount of artificial lights. Surfing the Internet I found the WinStar 2 program. With its aide the answer occurred clear: this is Jupiter, a planet (star?) well distinguishable in the night sky nowadays.
