Paris Trip - Part 1


This is Paris. This is Eiffel Tower! I'm in Paris!


We reached Paris in the afternoon after some traffic jam from Paris Beauvais Airport to Paris.

After checking in the hostel, we went to St. Michael Sq. for the free tour.




La Seine, Paris main river




Pont Neuf (New Bridge), is the oldest bridge in Paris




From La Seine pedestrian walk




The famous Notre Dame Cathedral from across the La Seine




Louvre Palace






The night before reached a low temperature of -7 C. The ice was few inches thick.
But the weather was warmer when we got there.



Glass Pyramids at the Louvre.


Jardin de Tuileries (Tuileries Garden)


Statues at Tuileries Garden



Christmas Wheel



The Obelisk in front of the Concorde



The Eiffel Tower



Along Champ Elysees, the most high class street in Paris



Eiffel Tower from Pont Alexander III



Me on Champ Elysees


Louis Vuitton


Arc de Triomphe



Eiffel Tower at night



Sparkling Eiffel Tower




We took the lift up to the highest point of the tower, 1000ft up a bare steel structure!



The whole Paris was in sight and we can see the city lights and the night sky split at the horizon.
