Hi James, first of all you shouldn't be taking a photograph of the Eiffel tower as the company that owns it has copyright of the image <grin>. Secondly, yes strictly speaking you should ask everyone who's in the image for permission to take their photograph. In practise it doesn't matter. In 10 years or so of photographing in France the reaction has broadly been similar to the UK, some people don't want their photograph taking and I don't take them.
