Tuesday's 'take on the Tower' over the rooftops.

From the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette, Paris stretches out in layers of zinc rooftops, chimneys, and quiet geometry.

The Eiffel Tower rises beyond it all, not dominating the view but anchoring it, a familiar presence framed by everyday Paris.

This viewpoint reminds us that the tower is not just a monument, but part of the city’s daily backdrop, glimpsed between buildings, roofs, and changing skies.

“Some views don’t shout, they simply stay with you.”
