Calculating distance in a projected CRS

Now we have the Eiffel Tower location in a projected coordinate system, we can calculate the distance to other points.

The final s_eiffel_tower_projected of the previous exercise containing the projected Point is already provided, and we extract the single point into the eiffel_tower variable. Further, the restaurants dataframe (using WGS84 coordinates) is also loaded.
