Paris part 2

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone,

This is part 2 from Paris, I hope you all enjoy it.

As the sun sets over the Seine and the streets of Paris start to glow in orange glow, Paris turns from a majestic into a mystique place. There are many vibrant, lively places all around, I love Paris Jazz Clubs.

Let's get the most touristy part done first, The Eiffel Tower, it is an impressive tower, for sure. You know what it look likes, in case you missed out on that, there you go ;-)

I am helping the Eiffel Tower not to fall down.

Just some quick facts about the Eiffel Tower for you, the Tower was constructed in between 1887 and 1889.
The Eiffel tower is the tallest building in Paris with its 324 metres.
Charles Léon Stephen Sauvestre was the architect of the Eiffel Tower.

After we had a picknick in the park next to the Eiffel Tower (quite crowded) we decided we wanted to go to the Père Lachaise Cemetery.
