Who can travel to Paris without seeing its most famous monument -- the Eiffel Tower? Take the elevator to the top or, if you're more daring, walk! Designed by Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower was created for the 1889 World's Fair. It is 300 metres tall, weighs 7000 tons and has three platforms. There are 1652 steps to the top.

To be rewarded with a view of Paris, the Seine, and Notre Dame's famous gargoyles, climb the 387 steps to the top of one of the towers. The original use of gargoyles were as downspouts to direct rainwater away from the masonry. In fact, the word "gargoyle" is derived from the sound of the gurgling water. Construction of Notre Dame began in 1163 and was completed around 1267.

To achieve this romantic view of Sacre-Coeur requires climbing lots of stairs, so be warned! Then again, you can always take the funicular!

Love your Paris pics by the way. | inconnu Wed Oct 18, 2006 20:03 UTC
Good Pages ! I missed you. We had to organize a VT meeting on July !!! | Norali Mon Sep 18, 2006 05:40 UTC
Checking the updates. I love the travelogues & use to love having a man strapping my helmet up. Uses to be a particular moment (different than feeling being dressed up by my Dad ;-). Use to be Antik batik fan. | BeatChick Sat Aug 26, 2006 16:43 UTC
I love toile, don't you? Wonderful charming room at the Jeanne d'arc, mon ami - glad you enjoyed the place! Mon cher, glad you made it into your room that night. That charming doorway on Ave Rapp is featured in Gigi! Yours is postcard perfect Sacre-Coeur! |
