The Eiffel Tower from the other Tower

The first thing that you look for once atop Montparnasse is the Eiffel Tower. From way up here you get to really understand how huge the Eiffel Tower really is. Isn't this a cool picture? The tip of the spire on the Eiffel Tower is 114 meters taller than where I am standing. Which means that the tallest habitable building in France, Montparnasse, is only 65% the height of the Eiffel Tower. You'll notice the field of grass between the two towers, the Champ de Mars, is very similar to the mall in Washington DC. Also note the exactly straight line from Montparnasse to Eiffel to The Grande Arche waaaaaay out there in the distance and across the Seine. Hats off to the builders of Paris! The line of trees running from left to right is of course the Seine, and all the tall buildings are at La Défense. The other picture is straight down from the 56th floor. Look how tiny everyone is, and how uniquely Parisian the streets and houses are. I figured the shadow in this pictures was pretty cool, too. Those buildings along the road look so tall when you are next to them, but it gets all "Mr. Rodgers" from 210 meters above.
