Les Monuments de Paris

Posted by Leslie in France

Velib et La Tour Eiffel A friend recently told me all she wanted from her first trip to Paris was a picture of the Eiffel Tower.

This made me laugh because with all my visits to Paris I rarely get close to the Eiffel Tower.

My last visit was at least fifteen years ago and when friends (non-French) request a visit I tell them they are on their own to wait in the long lines to visit Gustave Eiffel’s iron lattice tower.

With perfect weather I bicycled by it everyday and by chance enjoyed a dinner party in an apartment that not only overlooked the tower but had an open terrace that ensured a clear shot – fortunately I wasn’t the only one snapping photos.

Enjoy!

    I love the way you captured the Eiffel Tower. At times it looks like a toy, and in other pictures it is awesome.
