You step out onto Avenue de la Bourdonnais and the iron lattice rises against the Paris sky, a structure that has watched the Seine carve its route and the city change around it for more than a century. A local host meets you a few minutes from the base, slips you through security, and guides you into the elevator that lifts you cleanly to the second floor — no long queues, just the city opening outward beneath you.
