In a continuation of my personal series of “Then and Now”, here are some pics of the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris—probably the most well-known sight in the city. Hated at first, it is now beloved and so visited that it’s usually hard not to get mobbed by crowds. Besides the size of the crowds, the biggest change is the area below the tower: in 1974 it was still parking space!! Now it tries to accommodate all the visitors as they queue to get up.
