Who is at fault when backing out of a parking space and one side is blinded by a larger vehicle parked next to you and you slowly back up and hit a car coming around the blind side and they saw you.?

It could be a "no fault" situation. If the driver of a vehicle sees a vehicle that is backing they should exercise caution and either sound their horn (to alert the backing vehicle) and/or they should slow or stop or take similar action to avoid or to prevent an accident. Secondly, the person who is backing should only back up when it is safe to do. This may mean getting out to check for any obstacles at the back or side then proceeding if it is safe to do so. And if necessary, stop again, get out and check again. If the person who is backing up happens to be a person with disabilities and may not be able to quickly and easily get in and out of the vehicle to check for obstacles, then before backing, if you noticed a larger vehicle next to yours that will block your view, then ask another person if they would mind being a momentary guide to assist you while you back out of the parking space. Again, in some areas it could be a no fault situation whereas drivers of both vehicles should take actions and steps to prevent or avoid an accident. In other areas it may be required that fault be assessed. In the case of an accident in this kind of situation it may be best to consult with a lawyer, and if there were any witness to have their name and contact information and to give them yours. It is the responsibility of all drivers to drive safely and defensively.

Where do people park at the Eiffel Tower?
Actually, no. The Eiffel Tower is eriged on a piedestrian park. Roads along it are not equipped with parking places and it is forbidden to park from 9 am to 7 pm. An exception is made in August when parking is free (expected in some very touristic areas). Generaly, it is not easy to park a car in Paris (neither to drive, actually). You have to pay for most of places. And the nearest from touristic spots are very expensive (if you have the chance to get a legal one). It can be more than 3 € per hour and the parking can not exceed two hours. You can be penalized with a 11 € fine fot not paying a parking place, with a 35 € for cumbersome or abusing parking.

When backing out of a parking space If you check your rearview mirror before you back up and no one is there Are you responsible if you hit a car without its lights on?
Unfortunately, the one trying to back out of a parking space will almost always be at fault. Constant checking for oncoming traffic from a parking spot is the driver's responsibility. One glance each way is not sufficient. As you might expect, the majority of vehicle accidents in parking lots occur when one vehicle is backing up.In some US states, the right-of-way does not always decide culpability, and each driver is expected to avoid collisions wherever "reasonably possible". In other locations, traffic laws do not apply to private property at all.---I always combat this issue by backing into the parking spot wherever I go*. When leaving, I have a 100% clear view of what is around me. It saves lots of time and hassles later on.---Unfortunately some locations prohibit backing in, because of the same issues (visibility of surrounding cars). Check for any posted warnings to avoid a citation.
