I think there is a law that to visit Paris one must go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Somehow with our many trips to Paris we always missed that attraction. Perhaps we were waiting for the right moment. With the arrival of our granddaughter it was finally time. We purchased tickets in advance to "skip the line." There was still a substantial wait, but nothing compared to the lines of people who had not thought to purchase tickets in advance.

Originally there was a conductor who controlled the elevator going up the tower. It took a lot longer than the elevators used today.

| The views are impressive. |

| The Eiffel Tower is being painted a brownish gold for the Olympics taking place next summer in 2024. You need to be comfortable with heights for that job. |

| After going up the Eiffel Tower we took a boat ride on the Seine. |
Our granddaughter was fascinated by the many designs and variety of colors of the bistro chairs, and tiny tables throughout Paris. We never saw a repeat of design or color.

Which is your favorite cafe?
ReplyDeleteI honestly don’t have a favorite. What’s yours?
DeleteAmazing! I’ve never been up the Eiffel Tower, so it”s great to see the views from up there. As for the chair designs, they’re fascinating. I wonder if I’d have noticed them without you mentioning them!
ReplyDeleteI think it’s worth going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Just try to avoid tourist season. My granddaughter was the one who kept pointing out all the cute bistro chairs.
