I'm with your Charlotte about the Eiffel Tower lift
Which one? The lift, I mean, not which Eiffel tower? When I rode in it, back in '47 or thereabouts, it was a two-part climb. The first part was up the sloping bit, then a vertical climb up the middle. The sloping bit was fascinating, like a kind of steep mountain railway. I never forgot it. But I was a small boy and of course had Rogerish tendencies.
