Just another gorgeous day in Paree
France
The Eiffel Tower was just a 10 minute walk from the apartment we were staying. It was so fun to walk over there with a croissant and just people watch. It reminded me a lot of the Washington Monument with all the angles and view points.
The lines for Notre Dame are crazy long. It basically came down to choosing between going on top or going inside. I chose to go up top because I thought it would allow for cool perspectives. It’s funny how all these people look so small.
Another view from on top the Notre Dame. I love these gargoyles. They’re so cool and different.
These are the steps you have to climb to get up the Arc de Triomphe. Pretty good work out especially if you’re holding your camera equipment. But I think it’s so fun to go down.
Pro tip: If you ever want to see the sunset on top of Arc De Triomphe with views of the Eiffel Tower, get your spot early! There were tons of people crowded in this little corner all trying to take pics of the Eiffel Tower. For some reason I didn’t expect the crowd.
As I was taking this image, there were some teenagers next to me. Two girls were taking pictures of their friend on their phones. I couldn’t understand what they were saying but they kept on going “ohhhh” after every phrase, picture and pose. Even if you can’t understand them, “ohhh’s” and “ahhh’s” are pretty funny in any language.
