It was Friday. I had already made plans for the evening at Paris. After a pretty good day at work I leave to Paris from Epinal. As I reach the Hotel in Paris I see Annabella waiting for me at the receptionJ…
I quickly dump my luggage and off we go for our evening plan. We were going to have a picnic at the Eiffel with a few friends of AnnaJ… Anna says it’s the favorite Picnic spot for the Parisians in summer. It definitely looked like their favorite spot. It was crowded. I loved to see the crowd.
It was a nice Picnic. A lot of chatting with a lot of French food and some French wine. It was a perfect evening for the picnic and the crowd there proved how much Parisians loved a picnic at the Eiffel. What I loved was the sparkling Eiffel. As the Clock strikes 10 P.M Eiffel is lit with Sparkling lights and it’s beautiful. It continues to sparkle after every one hour. It’s amazing. I wouldn’t have witnessed this if it was not for the Picnic plans. Anna Thanks for this. I wanted to go up to the Eiffel and Anna offers to join me. Since the elevator was down we had to climb up the stairs. Yes!! I was climbing the Eiffel only to reach the second floor at mid night. Paris looks its best from the top. Lit up Bright and colorful. I was on top of the Eiffel and very excited. JJ A Dream come true for me JJJ…
I was alone the next day. It was a bright sunny day. Weather was at its best. Had a lot of site seeing to do. Was hoping I could do some Shopping too. I Start off early with my maps; pick up some yummy pastries from the street and I was going to the Eiffel again. I reach the other end of the Eiffel, did a lot of Photography take a boat ride along the river from the Eiffel and then ride in the metro to a few places, walked along the streets and did quite a lot of shopping too. My day just flew. Thankfully I could see all the places I had in my list.
Paris does mesmerize you. The Crowded streets, the beautiful souvenir shops, Paintings on the street, the monuments, the food, the best of pastries, the people around felt so new .And all the amazing memories and experience Paris gave me was what I had never expected.
Paris has its own charm, but it reminds you a lot of places back home. It made me feel India is beautiful too; Like ParisJJJ
All I could think when told about Paris was the Eiffel. But now with all the memories it’s not just the Eiffel that I know. I’m glad I know so much more of ParisJJJ
It was the end of my euro trip. I was happy. When you know you are going to be with your own people in a few hours time, you feel even better.
