Champ de Mars

The vast public park stretching beneath the towering iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower, its broad expanse of manicured lawns and gravel pathways serving as the dominant vantage point for the landmark’s many visitors. The air carries the scent of aged stone and fresh grass mingling with the mineral tang of the tower’s metalwork. Duggan’s gaze lingers over the open space as the Doctor and Romana pause at its edge, turning briefly to wave before their figures disappear among the midway crowd. The distant chatter of tourists and the low hum of mechanical vehicles from nearby construction sites drift upward, framing the pair’s silent farewell against the grand scale of the monument.
