The EiffelTower

Jonny made the Parisian symbol the first place he saw when he got into the city, and he kept going back to it over and over. It was built by engineer Gustave Eiffel as the entryway for the 1889 World's Fair, narrowly winning a competition to select the entrance over a gigantic guillotine. Jonny didn't ascend the tower during his trip for two reasons: it is a multi-hour wait to make the climb and when you finally reach the top, you are at literally the only place in Paris that you can look at the skyline and not see the Eiffel Tower.

The much-reviled peace monument across the park from the tower, a frequent target of vandalism. Note the missing pane of plexiglass on the left side of the monument. It's not supposed to be like that; the public just hates the monument so much that the panes are frequently stolen.

The bust of Eiffel under the tower. Paris would only agree to build it if he paid for the construction himself, so he added the elevators as a means of generating income for the project.
It was paid off after three years.

Police with machine guns stand guard under the tower. It's nothing to fret about -
almost all Parisian police carry machine guns.
