PARIS     AT            A      GLANCE

It sounds so simple… but WOW it’s majestic !!!!  FABULOUS whether we admire it from the Seine or from the Eiffel Tower.. But hey… not so easy to get there… we walked, and walked, and walked…we sailed, and sailed, and sailed… we climbed up the stairs of the tower, and climbed, and climbed…

FOR SUCH A PANORAMA at a glance …

In the morning: The Seine River ( remember ”river”= “fleuve”)

We took a cruise “une croisiere” on the Seine. We looked at all the riverbanks (romantic…), and the majestic buildings and palaces from far. It is really different when you see them from the boat..because you can see them all at once ( but of course, much smaller than in reality).  It was soooooooo COLD  while you were HOT in Beirut!!!!

In the afternoon: The famous Eiffel Tower

Finally we arrived to this spiky tower!!… but not to the top… (We can’t wait three hours  in the queue to take the elevator..  for the other elevators are being repaired).. So….we climbed up to the first floor only ( around 350 steps)… But… what a panoramic view..a bird’s eye view!

Our guide was IMPRESSED and PROUD of our knowledge.. We answered her questions (even the tricky ones) correctly and faaaaaaaast!

Finally, we got some souvenirs from the boutique of this memorable tower…then walked, and walked, and walked to the underground (“the metro”).. Did you read “walked”?? oh no… in Paris people run… they don’t walk…. such lonnnnnnnnnnng distances…
