'Eiffel Tower, Paris, France' by K.J.S.Chatrath

Eiffel Tower in Paris, France is one of the most photographed monuments of the world. Here is my modest take:

‘Thank you for preserving the beauty and cleanliness of this place and the walkways. Here, everyday 38 gardeners and caretakers as well as 17 personnel of security and information from the Mairie of Paris take care of this garden of Paris.’

On a nice lawn in a public space you are likely to find a stern, stiff upper-lip order in English ‘Keep off the grass’. But the French make the same order sound so poetically polite – ‘Pelous en repose’ meaning that the grass is resting.
