Paris Trip (part 2)

After the first full day in Paris, we had booked to go up to levels 2 and 3 of the Eiffel Tower at 9.30pm.

I've been to Paris before but never to the Eiffel Tower let alone up it so i was very excited and loved it!

View from Trocadero.

Stood underneath.

At night, at the start of every hour, the whole tower sparkles with flashing lights for 10 minutes.

View from 2nd floor.

Same view from 3rd floor, it was SO much more high up.

Can see the Arc de Trimophe over in the distance.

Me being a tourist on the 3rd floor.

Walking back to the hotel at about 11.30pm.

It was amazing! The night was SO clear and fresh and you could see for miles and miles. It was definitely the highlight for me.

Tomorrow I'll post the rest of the snaps of our last day.
Hope you all had a great weekend!

Paris Trip (part 1).

I'm home from Paris! To cut a long story short it started out bad but once all the chaos with cancelled flights and stuff was sorted it was awesome!

Our hotel was about a 7 minute walk from the Champs Elysee and Arc de Trimophe, so we were right in the middle of everything. I did ALOT of walking and my feet/legs still hurt today!

So basically I'm going to do my 'Paris posts' in 3 parts and all will picture heavy so be prepared! This post is of our first full day.
Concorde

Louvre
Me plodding along outside the Louvre
Alot of the ceilings were like this inside the Louvre, so nice!
And there was a REAL mummy!
Notre Dame cathedral
Notre Dame
The front of Notre Dame, I wanted to go in but the queue was ridiculous.
The Pompidou Center
The front, we didn't go in, the art inside ain't my cuppa tea, but the square is nice and full of street performers.
Ok that's it for part 1. Tomorrow I will post what we did in the evening - which is up to the top of the Eiffel Tower! Obviously a perfect opportunity for some lovely snaps :).

I hope your week has been great, I'd like to thank everyone who has entered my giveaway - which is still open HERE, so go enter! x
