Three iconic Paris landmarks glowing on a June night

This is a nighttime photograph of the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France. In the foreground is a wide cobblestone plaza. To the left, a large stone monument with a seated figure on top is illuminated. Behind it, an obelisk, also illuminated, stands tall. In the background, the Eiffel Tower is visible, lit up and emitting a powerful beam of light into the night sky. Streetlights and trees line the periphery of the plaza, and some traffic and distant figures can be seen. Two people, one wearing a dark garment and the other a lighter garment, are walking on the plaza near the monument. The sky is dark and cloudy.

The image depicts the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel in Paris, France at night. The monument is illuminated, and a large advertisement is displayed within its arch. The advertisement shows children playing in a pile of apples and a woman with an umbrella in a desert-like landscape. A traffic light is visible on the left side of the image, and a "METRO" sign is illuminated at the bottom. The sky is dark, indicating it is nighttime.
