La Tour Eiffel
Under La Tour Eiffel I looked to the sky and I saw this image...
Under the tower there is always a lot of people waiting for climbing to the top
The original Statue of Liberty is in Paris, in a little Island in the Seine river
We had to have a photo with this impressive view of Paris as a background
L'étoile Charles de Gaulle, with L'Arc de Triomphe in the center and twelve avenues which links this place with Paris
Le Trocadéro on my left (on the right in the picture) and, in the background, a Park called Le Bois de Boulogne, one of the lungs of Paris
From the third floor of La Tour Eiffel and in a really sunny day, we could enjoy fantastic views which reached up to eighty kilometers
The Seine from the third floor of La Tour Eiffel. The views are really fantastic from the top of the tower. So it's always worth the queue to enjoy these views of Paris, specially in a sunny day
A photo with the Seine
L'Esplanade des Invalides and the Seine between Le musée d'Orsay and Le Louvre
Le Panthéon viewed from the second floor of La Tour Eiffel
Taking photos on the third floor of La Tour Eiffel
Obviously, we took photos with this wonderful view of the tower
One more picture with this really beautiful view
Pigalle
Sacré Coeur
On of the typical crowned streets in Montmartre with the Sacré-Coeur in the background
Crowning the Butte Montmartre, the Sacré-Coeur was built from 1875 onwards as an act of penance after France was defeated by the Prussians in 1870. Built in a Romano-Byzantine style, the building was consecrated in 1919 and given the name “basilica,” thereby making it a shrine
From Le Sacré-Cœur, we enjoyed the unrestricted view of Paris from the square in front of the basilica
A closer view of this impressive white church
Montmartre
This stairs of Montmartre are really known
A typical narrow cobbled street of Montmartre with its steep slope
We could breathe the bohemian air which still remains in this well-known hill of Paris
Arc de Triomphe
L'Arc de Triomphe is one of the points of reference in Paris and the views from it of Les Champs Elysées and La Tour Eiffel are wonderful and really spectacular
Another view of La Tour Eiffel. La Tour Montparnasse appears on the left too
Here Le Louvre can be better seen with the obelisk of La Place de la Concorde in front of it
Sunset staring at L'Arc de la Défense
Les Champs Elysées at night from L'Arc de Triomphe its a breathtaking image of Paris. For sure,one of the views which deserves a visit to Paris
