Paris - City Of Lights - Part 1

The more times one visits Paris the better it gets. Paris has so much to offer that it will be injustice not to visit the city again. The first time you’ll explore the famous tourist sites, but next time if you go back, you’ll experience the city in a whole new different perspective than before.
Paris has it all. Art, Museums, Flea and Open Markets, Culture, Food, History, Architecture, Cabaret, Bus Tours, Monuments, Operas, Parks and Gardens and the list goes on and on.

One of the reasons we love to visit Paris is because it’s a great city for walkers and one really gets the feel for the city as the scenerys and sites of colors and styles changes, so most of the attractions and sites we tried to see was by foot.

We walked up from our Hotel to the Notre Dam and took a guided tour inside the beautiful Gothic Cathedral. We admired the magnificent architecture structure especially the Flying Buttress (arched exterior support).

We walked up the world famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
Champs-Élysées is one of the greatest Avenues in the world & it’s the perfect place for people watch. The avenue extends from the Arc de Triumph at one end to the Place de la Concord at the other. During the day, you'll find fast-food joints and chain stores along with fine dining establishments and expensive boutiques. At night, clubs and cabarets pulse with life as crowds walk both sides of the street.Famous marches, celebrations and events have taken place down its length. It remains the most expensive strip of real estate in Europe.

Around sun down time we continue toward the Eiffel Tower so we can see it all illuminated from the Trocadero area in the 16th arrondissement. The Eiffel Tower lights up every evening from sunset to 1am (2am during the three months of summer), coupled with the lighthouse on the Tower top that sends out its light beams during the same hours. As for the glimmering lights, this ten minute show is added during the first five minutes of each hour on the hour. We spent the entire evening just hanging out in The Trocadero section which was very relaxing and quite.
