On our way to Egypt we had a 5 or 6 hour layover in Paris France so we had planned on hiring a taxi to take us on a tour of the highlights of Paris. We visited just a few of the iconic landmarks including the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower at Sunset
The Eiffel Tower garden is thronged with people watching the sun set behind the massive structure. The sky was clear and it was a hot night. People were sitting in almost every available space waiting for the light show that made the Tower sparkle on the hour.

Speaking of things most of us have forgotten (or never knew) re: #BastilleDay :
the #EiffelTower was built not just for a worlds fair,, but for one that was to honor the centennial of the #FrenchRevolution and the political and moral as well as technological progress since then.
Many small souvenir items such as #medals and tokens, made the connection
My favorite, though, has to be a paper knife with the handle in the shape of the Tower

Dumas discovered the laws of chemical substitution, and he was one of the founders of the Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, established in 1829 to train civil, i.e. non-military, engineers to work in private industry.

Calling for restructuring of the UN Security Council to reflect global realities, PM Narendra Modi has batted for India’s inclusion as a permanent member of the body, saying the “issue is not just about credibility, but something much larger”, and wondering how the world’s largest democracy and most populous country can be denied its rightful place.
