The Eiffel Tower at night


On Friday, April 24, we departed from London by Eurostar train at 10:25 a.m., and arrived in Paris's Gard du Nord two hours and 45 minutes later. We went to our hotel via the Metro and a short walk across the Seine River, and after checking in, we took a stroll down the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe. We climbed to the top and saw a panorama of the city along with the roads radiating from the Arc in 12 different directions. Then we had dinner at a French cafe, and walked back to the Eiffel Tower to see its amazing light display before heading for our hotel and retiring for our first night in Paris.
