The City of Lights
The city is proudly showing its history almost around every corner.
La Tour Eiffel, This is nearly the logo for Paris , you can see it from almost everywhere in the city, beautifully illuminated with strong spotlights scanning the city every minute as if a lighthouse telling the world that Paris
I couldn't miss the pleasure of cruising the Seine river in one of the boats under the tower, a true pleasing trip around the heart of Paris
L'Arch de Triomphe. standing proudly at the Place de l'Étoile, honoring the ones who fought for France
and ended that day with a shopping in the Champs-Élysées street, and visiting the brands car show rooms there.
Notre Dame de Paris, the most beautiful cathedral I ever saw !! every single detail is stunning!! i couldn't believe the amount of work was done there. do you believe that it took them 182 years to complete this masterpiece ???!!! how could man be so persistent to build such thing over generations ?! and after that it stood 664 years till now to impress the millions. I couldn't speak a word inside, the place has a real reverence, one of the things you have to see yourself, no words can fairly describe it.
Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. when we arrived there, we did not know that it was located up a hill, with really many stairs, that we had to take a rest couple of times, but the real funny thing was when we arrived up there and discovered there was a telefrique :)) I was the trip guide so the 2 others were about to kill me. along the way up the stairs you could see people playing statues and an amazing football guy showing his skills in bouncing the ball not dropping it all day long. but stepping inside is another story ! a piece of heaven with all the nuns singing with the same frequency and that kind of echo that trembles your soul.
Musée du Louvre. A HUGE museum !! summing up the best of the human race in arts. and i don't understand how a man owned such a HUGE palace before being a museum, he couldn't possibly finish walking it in 3 days !!! we were running around for a whole day not covering even quarter the place. and I had the chance to meet the famous Monalisa after struggling to sneak a peak between the crowds.
You gotta visit Paris
