Literally. On the lake in the Bois de Boulogne. Six huge, beautiful swans. When I first came across them, they were all resting in a row along the side of the lake, preening and enjoying the sun. I walked along the path beside them, only two feet away at the most, and they didn't care at all. Then a dog ran up to them, barking, but they slowly turned to look at him, and he backed away!
Later, as I retraced my steps, they were swimming together, and then I turned my head from them slightly, and I found myself staring at the top two-thirds of the Eiffel Tower, perfectly framed by the trees on the other side of the lake. I couldn't believe how perfect it was, and all just a walk away for me.
