Eiffel Tower

In the story · Remy's first view of Paris from the rooftops (animated)

Remy, the rat who dreams of becoming a chef, is swept away from his family and through the sewers. When he climbs up onto a rooftop, he discovers he is in Paris, with the city spread out before him and the Eiffel Tower lit up in the distance. The tower is drawn, not filmed, but it is the real one and you can go up it.

Where to stand for the photo

To echo Remy's view, look for a high vantage point with rooftops in the foreground and the lit tower in the distance; the tower sparkles for a few minutes on the hour after dark.
