My, My Paris….I am in love!

Oh Paris I am so in love with you!!! You have me so enamored with your architecture, history, food, and people. I may never want to go…..

Paris 005

Starting at the Gare de Lyon, which is one of the main hubs in Paris that the trains run through, I step out of the station to view the façade of the building and know immediately that this is going to be a unforgettable trip. The attention to detail on such a grand scales is beyond my comprehension. All of the craftsman that must have been working in unison to create such a “place” is absolutely astonishing to me.

Once we walked to the hotel which is in the 5th arrondesmont (which is district in our terms) we dropped our things in our rooms and it was off  to the Eiffel Tower!

Eiffel Tower Light Show

Every hour on the hour, starting at 9pm they light up the Eiffel Tower. As you can see from the video that I took it is like nothing I have every experienced before. The video is shot from the first deck of the tower looking up at it. It looked like shooting stars flying from each point. I have no words to describe the awe that I was in at that very moment.

There is so much more to come…. this was only our first night in Paris!!!!!
