The Eiffel Tower

Key rings to Paris. A dime a dozen for those of you who asked for the Eiffel tower!

Paris is more than the Eiffel tower, and France is more than Paris. Though I love the Eiffel tower, Paris and France. Belinda, I could sit here all day long and the evening too.

Nancy_honeymoon_spot_2

Nancy said, "If you happen to be by the Eiffel Tower, perhaps a shot of the little lake beneath it. Feller and I had the BEST, most romantic picnic at twilight there. We watched the tower begin to twinkle with its millions of lights and the sun setting…it was bliss (they were on their honeymoon I might add!) It is one of the prettiest places in Paris to me…just serene and beautiful and restful with all the trees and flowers. LOVE the willows!"

Thank you for being with me in Paris, I kept seeing it through your eyes! The Eiffel tower thanks you for asking, Lorene, Lauren, Lynda and Anastasia.

Chelsea, If you stand right under the Eiffel tower and look up this is what you see.

Jules_verne_restauant

The Jules Verne Restaurant is on the second floor of the Eiffel tower. It sits like a diamond in the sky! Jeanne, from here you could wave to your children.

Charlotte, romance breeds in Paris…..I saw many couples kissing, though I did not have the heart to steal a picture of their intimacy.

    Corey — how wonderful it has been seeing Paris through your eyes. The one and only time that I was there (for an all too short visit) it seemed remarkable to me that Paris was EXACTLY as I had pictured it in my mind. Such a picturesque, quirky, fun and romantic place. Thank you for taking us along on your visit.

    Lovely pictures, Corey! I love the one with the sun coming through.
    In 1992, from the second level, I think, of the Eiffel Tower, I turned the coin-operated binoculars towards the buildings across the way, and looked in someone’s window (accidentally; I didn’t become voyeuristic until recently).
    That must happen a lot, because, in front of the drawn curtains, a friendly skeleton sat in the window, looking back at me.
    Corey responds:
    That is a good trick! I bet you had a good laugh!

    These are just breathtaking, Corey. I had no idea there was a pond under ET. It makes me want to go and have a romantic picnic like Nancy and her Feller.

    Corey,
    Thank you, thank you, thank you! What amazing pictures you have taken. I felt like I was there. The most unique one has to be the one underneath looking up. Have you ever thought of publishing a book with all of your photos? Oh and that link to the live feeds of the Eiffel Tower are amazing! Once again thank you and happy travels.

    Oh Corey! Remember my blog post about having an Eifel Tower Moment???? The day when I couldn’t remember the name of the Eifel Tower (I was having a “menopause moment”).
    Those Eifel Tower keyrings would go over BIG with all my friends who are also having “Eifel Tower” moments.
    The pics are fabulous. Looks like you had a wonderful time.

    A great homage to Monsieur Gustave Eiffel, Corey !
    A long list of French artists and writers held a controversy on “his” tower in 1887 and signed a petition to stop the project of that “useless and monstrous” monument.
    Here is a part of the text:
    « Nous venons, écrivains, peintres, sculpteurs, architectes, amateurs passionnés de la beauté jusqu’ici intacte de Paris, protester de toutes nos forces, de toute notre indignation, …, contre l’érection, en plein cœur de notre capitale, de l’inutile et monstrueuse tour Eiffel… »
    And the so-called “useless monster” has become the N°1 visited monument and the symbol of Paris and our country…
    Your great shots of the Iron Lady prove how art can be seen in and through the Tower!
    WELL DONE !!!
    You said a star was born, I shall add: “an artist is confirmed” !!!
