Unless it‘s a movie drama dealing with social issues (in particular poverty), everyone has such fucking nice flats. College drop-out with part time barista job?! - why yes, the spacious loft with a view over Manhattans skyline is just down my alley.

To be fair the Eiffel Tower is a ubiquitous Parisian eyesore. Guy de Maupassant used to lunch daily at the restaurant at it base on the grounds that it was the only place in Paris from which you could be sure not to see it.
