The view of Paris from on top!

My big moment of going up the Eiffel tower was excepted to be less emotional than I had always anticipated it to be because the glamor of the tower has died down from seeing it almost every day. But I still cried once I got off the elevator.

 About to get on the elevator

Going up!

Almost there!

View from the middle of the eiffel tower

I was crying at this point. It hit me that I was on the eiffel tower.

La Seine

Trocadero


Champs de Mars

Looking up from where I was.


After that, we paid the extra few euros to go to the VERY TOP of the tower


Going up further!

It actually took forever to get up.

Champs de Mars again

There were many posters with history on them about the tower. Mr. Eiffel lived on the tower!

Trocadero again

Me and Molly!



So it was freezing cold and windy. That kind of made our trip short. I would have normally wanted to stay longer. I know for sure that I want to go again at night when it's not as cold. I feel that I need to see everything in Paris during the day and at night. Night time here is a whole new world.



Our next adventure was to climb the Notre Dame! that too had an amazing view.

 There were 400 stairs to climb. I could have died.

 My favorite gargoyle!

 Look an orbe! 

The famous bell! I touched it!

 looking to the east and you can see the Eiffel Tower

 So many tall building so you know that the Notre Dame is super tall

 so pretty!


The next adventure was on a feris wheel! There is a feris wheel for the holiday season at the end of the Champs- Elysees between Place de la Concorde and the Louvre Museum. This feris wheel is pretty much in the middle of all of Paris so you can see everything!

 From far away

Molly and I on the feris wheel!

La Champs-Elysees and l'Arc de Triomphe.

 La Tour Eiffel when it's foggy

 La madeline on the middle left, Opera toward the middle right, and Sacre-Coeur in the distance.
