So, if you read my blog, you probably know that we recently had the opportunity to go to Paris, one of the most magical cities in the world. And in the last post, we visited the Louvre, one of the most important sights of this city. During this stay, we want to visit all the main sights, and as you might have guessed - this time we will visit the main one. And as you already guessed - yes, the Eiffel Tower. On this day, we were already extremely tired after walking in freezing rain and headed home. The next day we went in search of the main attraction of all of France. This time we didn't take the metro and walked. Ohhh, I don't know what we were thinking when we started our journey, because it was a bit far. But you know, we didn't really regret it, because apart from the main sights, the whole city of Paris is extremely beautiful. And after a few minutes of walking, in the distance, we finally began to see the upper part of this beauty in the sky.

Coming closer, we finally saw her in full. This breathtaking, towering tower stands at the end of a lovely avenue of green grass. This landscape is so beautiful and bright. It is even surprising that it took only two years to create this legend. Nevertheless, 300 workers who worked non-stop for days and did everything so well that on March 31 it will be 135 years since the construction was finished. Unbelievably true, right? And here I stand looking at this bronze work of art. The sky colors the landscape and the green lawn creates a wonderful setting.

As you know, the Eiffel Tower can also be climbed, of course not to the very top (I don't even know why), but to the lower and middle floors. We thought for a long time whether we needed to do it, but in the end we decided that it was not worth it.

After a few minutes of admiring, we went to explore other parts of the city. While walking, we came across a huge avenue that was filled with bright orange rays of the sun. They made their way through the trees that stood on both sides of the street. The whole alley was strangely filled with green chairs. Hah. And you know, it was so beautiful there that we decided to take a photo. It turned out pretty well. And yes, almost forgot how you could see the trees perfectly trimmed to a square. I don't know, maybe this is a trend in France. Walking along this alley, we looked at how the sun colored everything around and admired it. Coming to the end, we came across another one of the many old chic houses. Every house in Paris is like that, it seems to me.

As I continued walking down the street, I looked around and it seemed to me that most of the architecture here hadn't changed since about the 1800s or 1900s. You know, when there were those great times and all the houses looked like magical buildings. Almost every pattern or carving was created by hand. All houses stand like great great-great-grandfathers and watch how humanity changes. The statues are made of bronze so clearly that even the smallest detail is worked out. You can see in the photo how impressive they are. And it was all cut by hand!

By the way here's the photos of the rat, I was talking about in my last post. He is truly the ratatouille!

After the walk we returned home. A few hours later, when evening came, we set out for the third task on our list. Namely, it is to see the most magical action in Paris. The twinkling of the Eiffel Tower at night. And it happens once an hour for five minutes. Quite rare. So we had to hurry. When we got to the place we needed. We started waiting. We didn't even know when it would happen. After standing in one place for about thirty minutes, we did not understand why it did not turn on. We came closer to the tower and continued to wait. And finally we were able to see this action. And I will tell you yes, it is extremely magical. Small sparks jump from place to place and make such a charm. It seems as if this is not real life, but part of a cartoon. You're watching it and you are mermerized by this magic.

And finally we go to our last place of visit. This is Arc De Triomphe, which is translated from French as Triumphal Arch. I will tell you that she is really triumphant. When I looked at her on the Internet, I thought she was much smaller. In real life, it is five times more. When you look at her, you can feel how heavy she is. This extremely massive structure gives me goosebumps. Although it looks like a simple square, it is extremely elegant and charming at the same time. Whole pictures with tiny details are carved into it. I love it!

PS: Y'all, when we was in Paris, near Louvre my sister made really nice photos of me, but i forgot bout them and didn't put them in post. İf it's not hard for you please go to my post and look at them. I added them just now 😭😭. İf you read it before you'll notice it but if you didn't could you please read it. 🙏I freezed my fingers off for them 🥲

Bye bye everyone! 🗼

Wow, the picture in which you’re hugging the tower is really nice 😁 nice choice, I also love this place. I would pay any possible amount of money to see Paris when it was more “authentic”, during the Belle Époque, the Roaring Twenties… etc!
Thank you for showing us this post!

Awwww, thanks. I am sure that it was something incredible in this epoch.

If you have never watched it, you can try "Midnight in Paris". I find it a very nice movie 😁

Ohhh, I don't watch films often, but I will take a look at it when I will have time, thanks 🩷🩷
Sorry, I wasn't in hive for a long time, so I didn't saw your comment

When can I go there?, I really like the city of Paris, exploring Europe and Paris has been my dream since I was little until now. Hopefully I have the opportunity to go there someday

If you're talking about the season of visiting, then the best one will be either late spring or early autumn. Because it won't be too hot or too cold and you'll be able to enjoy Paris fully 🤗
Sorry for not answering your comment for a long time

That's why one of my bucket list is to go to Paris, I want to see it for myself☺️

You MUST visit it!!!!! 🩷🩷

Eternal Paris, the city that never sleeps, the city of love, very beautiful pictures, and yes, I see that it has the same charm it had two years ago when I was here too.

That's cool that you had a chance of visiting this magical city! It'll be always as iconic as ever

Paris has kept its charm for a very long time and I think it will keep it for a very long time to come.

Btw have you climbed to the top floor of the Eiffel Tower?
