Of course, no trip to Paris would be complete without a trip up La Tour Eiffel... so up we went. Not the usual way up in the lift (elevator) of course. No no. Up the stairs (Martin's idea)!! All 689 of them! This actually wasn't as bad as it seems and we got some good close up views of the structure and beams. It didn't take long to get to the second floor and after that, the only way up to the tippy top is by lift. When we got to the top the sun was setting over an impressive but hazy Paris. It was perfect timing to see panoramas by day and by night. It didn't get dark until 11 at night so we stayed up there for three hours. Don't worry, we didn't starve - we took our baguette and brie to keep us going! However, we forgot the wine which is kind of hard to believe!!
We decided to take the stairs down which was interesting because the beams were lit up and glowing orange in the night. *Mush
