Tour Eiffel - By Night
The Tour Eiffel is not to be missed by night. We took the metro and got off at Trocadero and walked from the Palais de Chaillot gardens across the Seinr. It gave a fabulous view and some excellent photo opportunities. We arrived just before dark and visited a cafe for a nice dessert and got a great light show after dark.
By day one can stop by the world’s largest triumpial arch. This was another piece of
Napoleon’s creation to celebrate the victory of his Grand Armee. You can arrive by metro and get the opportunity to get a magnificant view from above by either taking the stairs or elevator. One can see that there are vehicles surrounding as the arc is in a major traffic intersection or “roundabout”.
I had visited this arc before in 2007 with former classmates. This was one of our last attractions we saw, as we spent the day prior at
EuroDisney. It certainly was fun, even for the big kid. I love theme parks.
Windmills of Moulin Rouge
We stayed in
Montmartre, with its steep hills and staircase streets. It is one of the most beautiful neighbourhood in
Paris. We spent some time just exploring the streets, climbing many stairs and getting a view at
Sacre Coeur. We also found the windmills on rue Lepic and at iconic
Moulin Rouge.
Dinner cruise on the Seine
Riverboats frequent the Seine.The architecture along this river is well-lit, enabling the river to really see them glow. We did not have the opportunity, but can only imagine on a warm night looking on and reaching out to these wonder pieces of art.
Paris is a city to overflowing with culture and screams of an amazing lifestyle. I guess Rural Newfoundland has more in common with this urban metropolitan center than one would think. It is a great place to visit and experience.
