I came down out of the tower at maybe ten 'til midnight. The plaza beneath had cleared out a lot since my ascent. I found a free place to sit, and waited for the collective gasp when the lights began to blink at midnight. The crowd, though much reduced, was happy to oblige. And that was the end of my day in Paris.
