After one night of riding the Metro in circles, and another of fumbling our way around the stops that seemed nearest, we finally wound our way along the Seine and, there she was.The view up the Eiffel Tower is incredible. The view from the Eiffel Tower is even more incredible.
The top isn't as romantic as everyone maybe thinks it should be because it's so crowded, even at night. But it certainly was beautiful. And lots of people are willing to take your picture!
It seemed more romantic on the first level, where there aren't so many people and you're free to look out at the Champs de Mars (the long lawns leading up to the Eiffel Tower) but we wanted to rush out for the twinkly light show at 11pm. Alyson took a nice picture of the white lights that sparkle the edifice; I just played with my camera. Enjoy!
