In which district in the Eiffel Tower located?

Let's return to the Eiffel Tower example. In previous exercises, we constructed a Point geometry for its location, and we checked that it was not located in the Montparnasse district. Let's now determine in which of the districts of Paris it is located.

The districts GeoDataFrame has been loaded, and the Shapely and GeoPandas libraries are imported.
