After an exhausting first day we were ready to start the next. On to the Eiffel Tower!
LeeLee was making "bubbles" with her mouth while we waited for the train.
Apparantly Tanaya was cold that morning.
A prerequisite for first-time visitors to Paris is to see the Tour Eiffel or Eiffel Tower, located in the seventh arrondissement. The lines to ride the Eiffel elevators are long, even in cold winter months; be prepared to wait. Of course, climbing the stairs is an option, but that path is best suited for ambitiously fit individuals. Regardless of your ascension choice, the views of Paris and Seine River from the Eiffel are magnificent. Make sure to plan your visit on a clear day to avoid a mist-enshrouded viewing platform.
And there it is. The Eiffel Tower!
We had to walk all the way across the park to get a good shot.
