Jonny looking good in front of the tower just as it begins its on-the-hour light show.
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.
