Paris

On my Europe trip during Sep 2015 ( read hard times below) I went to Paris and when  I was there I saw the following:


The Palaces of Versailles is one of the largest and most opulent castles in the world. This stunning historic castle with its beautiful architecture and gardens, and deep history is a must visit sight on a sightseeing trip to Paris. I saw lots  of beautiful 'things' (not going to ruin the experience, watch for pleasant surprises at 3PM !!)  at the palace of Versailles. 


The Arc De Triumph is one of the most iconic monuments in Paris and must for any visitor to Paris. I climbed 200 steps to the top of the arc de triumph.



The Louvre Museum is home to some of the finest art work in the world. Home to thousands of classic and modern masterpieces, the Louvre Museum is the jewel in the crown of French culture. Famous for its glass pyramid façade, it was also the setting for the Hollywood blockbuster The Da Vinci Code, so surely it’s worth a visit aside from its art history. Feast your eyes upon the much debated Mona Lisa and admire the Renaissance masterpieces that adorn its walls, with free entry with the Paris Pass. The Mona Lisa is amazing to really see for yourself in person  ... not on google pictures.

The Eifel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889. The tower itself had no practical use it was just used to demonstrate capabilities of recent engineering. There are some interesting and unique facts about the Eiffel Tower like how it ways 7000 tons. Also what’s cool about it is that a man sitting on a chair has the same amount of pressure as the Eiffel Tower, because the great architectural and design it has to offer.

From the top you can see the Arc De Triumph, and if you look at the front you will see the beautiful mansion . The mansion is about 1/2 of the size of the white house. from the top of the Eiffel tower you can see a busy street on the west side of the Eiffel.
