Sam had so far spent the lesson trying to find a map of France, and then more specifically, Paris, in her textbook. She'd only ever left London to go to Hogwarts, so the subject of this lesson was completely foreign to her. Sam would struggle to identify Blackpool tower, not alone the Eiffel Tower. How others not only knew this landmark, but the builders and engineers (what did one of those even do?) she didn't know.

Having found a picture of the real thing in her textbook though, she could guess it one fact about it. "Is it the tallest fing in the city, Professeh?" No, she didn't have specifics about it's height or anything, but it was the best she could offer until she caught up on some reading.
