>No point to take the 15 million's photo of the eiffel tower. //
One proviso to this - it's a travel record.
The next picture is a couple standing at the door to an apartment... but where is it... 'oh yeah Paris; your mother and i visited college friends. Forgot we'd even been there'.
Sure, way better with a person on the frame, but recognisable landmarks can still have utility in a photo collection.
I was working through my parent's slides and found pictures of St.Marks square -- didn't even know they had been to Italy.
For capturing memories, try to think about photos in small series...
Family at a Metro stop
Generic Eiffel Tower photo
Family at Eiffel Tower
Family eating a baguette walking down a random street
Etc.
As you say, they all provide context and often tell more of a story than a single candid of the family.
