I was staying near the Eiffel Tower and had a view of it from my apartment but it was overcast and it was too far away for one to actually feel the monument. I did not go anywhere near it during the day and it was only in the evening on my way to the airport that I had a proper view of it (though not a proper photo because I was in a moving vehicle).
And I think it looks better at night.
Here follows the “extra”.
At the Air France lounge at CDG.
I flew as I normally do on AF that evening leaving CDG at 11:20 pm. I do not normally eat a full dinner on board because I would opt to eat before flying but that night I did not have enough time for a dinner appointment or do dinner by myself so I ate after we took off. Generally on AF, the appetizers are OK but the mains are never great. This was different which was part of a campaign menu featuring a real chef (and I forget who and am not sure after doing searches) which was quite tasty. I was not planning to touch the dessert but ha! I finished it.
