You step out of the boutique on Avenue de la Bourdonnais and the ironwork of the Eiffel Tower rises above the treetops, its lattice catching the low light like a stitched map of the city. A host meets you, guides you through security and onto the lift that climbs the tower’s spine; from the summit Paris opens in layered ribbons — rooftops, wide boulevards and the Seine daring you to follow its curve.
