Follow along all weekend as Marty Smith tours France with Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines.
Day 1: Bonding over baguettes
PARIS -- Jim Harbaugh and his family emerge from a black tour bus on a chaotic Parisian avenue, stride across a busy crosswalk and step onto the perch at Trocadero Square. With each step, the Eiffel Tower rises farther toward the open, crystal sky before them, commanding and stately and historic and genuinely awesome.
On this sundrenched Friday afternoon, rays glint from the gold faces of the statues surrounding the square.
