A journey following the idea of my daugther,so I thought, lets just do it and see what happens.
Go up the Eifel-tower was priority nr one.,well there was millions of others with the same plan....
The amount of tourists waiting was amazing,it took us 2 and more hours and 37 euros with the three of us to go up to the first floor.
To go to the top(320m) was another year...,but we made it,and the sunset was great,the white buildings were turning into orange,we were good timed..
We came down about 11pm(another hour and a half),completely exhausted.
We took some wine,cola,bread and cheese before crashing out in our small hotel-cell in Paris..
The famous Les Invalides in front and the Notre Dame
church are very well seen....

Hoi Jan,

Ja, je moet er welwat voor over hebben!
Het is dan ook een schitterende plaat geworden.
Heel fraaie warme avondkleuren.
Toen m'n zoon en ik in november j.l. op deze toren gingen konden we zó doorlopen; 0 minuten wachttijd......

Groet uit Renesse,
Adri

Hello Jan!
Fantastic light and great panorama!
I was never in Paris...even is only 4 hours to drive, from us.
Excellent done!!!!!!!
Best regards!

Hello Jan,
A vast view of Fabulous Paris!
The warm light of sunset is casting an orange hue to the buildings and monuments which is very eye-pleasing.
A nice panormana which takes some time to navigate in and point out the landmarks of this fascinating City.
Great work.
Well done,

Francis Xavier

Hoi Jan.
Once in a life time.!!!
Man has to visit and see Paris.!
Glad, I made it long time ago, (in the Eighties) when Paris was still PARIS.!
Last ime I was there, late nineties, it was changed into a getto of North Africa.
But dispite of that, the architecture is still fantastic to see.
This picture proofs, that it is still worth to visit.
Groeten van Jan

Ciao Jan, great POV and fantastic light, superb view of Paris, very well done, ciao Silvio

I had no idea that it was like this here! I didn't even know you could go up there! But the sunset was worth it? Like having a baby..painful, but the pain soon forgotten. This is a great shot, nice sharpness, love the color here, beautiful!

Hi Jan,

Amazing view of Paris in a perfect light ... a perfect light for "the City of Lights" ("La Ville-Lumière") :-)
Best regards,
Sorina

Hello Jan!

Exhausting and expensive at times indeed to play the tourist game (^_^). Well worthed the efforts looking at your shot. It seems it is easier and faster to trek to the highest mountain summitt here than climb the Eiffel Tower.

The evening light gives a great ambiance to the scene. Well done!

Hello Jan.
It was worth it!
Great view and great panorama of Paris.
This is a beauty to be a tourist in Paris.
You cannot miss Eifel tower!
Next time you can relax on the bottom of tower with nice glass of wine.
Great picture like this will stay forever!
Regards
Janek Kloss

What a woeful story, but what a great ending to it! I've never seen this perspective from the Eifel Tower. It's great!! I, myself, have spent hours upon hours to capture a photo and sometimes it was worth it, and sometimes not! Best of luck on your next tour!
