Paris, France
Of course, the most iconic feature of Paris is the Eiffel Tower. It was magnificently beautiful at night!
"The Eiffel Tower, which is the tallest building in Paris, is the single most visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch for the 1889 World's Fair."
We found some English speaking folks to take our picture and we took theirs as well.
I know this picture is basically a repeat of the above, but it shows the boats docked on the Seine below the Tower better than the previous one did, although the previous picture shows the light beam from the Tower better. Also - just look at that purple sky! How beautiful!
There's a light beam at the top of the Tower that rotates in a circle, like a beacon. Also, every so often the Tower becomes an entire structure of strobe lights. This picture does no justice to seeing it in person. It literally shimmers!
