Paris Day 2: Sight Seeing

After visiting the Bastille Sunday Market, Ben brought me to see the Eifel Tower, a must visit tourist attraction in Paris.

Eifel Tower is an observation and radio broadcasting tower. It held the tallest record in the world from 1889 to 1930.

A close up view of the tower. At the time we were here, the line to go up the tower was very long. So, we did not go up the tower.

We went to look for the Statue of Liberty instead.

The Statue of Liberty is located at the end of Allee des Cygnes. The Statue of Liberty in Liberty Island Manhattan, New York City, New York is a gift from the French people to the American people in memory of the United States Declaration of Independence.

We then returned to the hotel to take an afternoon nap due to jet lag.

We came back to the Eifel Tower in the evening. This time, the line was not too long. We went up to Level 2 via the elevator. The lift tickets cost us EUR18. The above was a view from Level 2.

We decided to walk down to have a better experience of the steel structure.

      It’s about an hour. It’s does not feel long as we are exploring and everything looks new to us.
