Angling my camera above the bobbing heads of the tourist crowd, one of the first things I do when I get to Paris is take a picture of the Eiffel Tower while on the Trocadero esplanade.
At five feet tall, my photos of any well-known landmark never turn out very well, but I still cannot help myself from joining the brigade of overseas visitors armed with selfie sticks and camera phones trying to capture an image of one of the world's most famous structures.
