My view for the next few nights

[purbeast0]

And this isn't Vegas! Not a bad view can't wait to see how it looks in the night when lit up.

that's extremely cool

Well if it's not Las Vegas then it must be Tianducheng, China. What do I win?

Needs aluminum siding; cuts down on maintenance costs and they could wash it with a garden hose.

What is funny is people want the Eiffel Tower outside their window but do not what cell phone towers whose visual appeal is on par with this.

 

[CraKaJaX]

No complaints.

This is perhaps the most idiotic post I've seen here in a while.

Looks even better at night.

They just had this sparkly light show on it but pictures don't do it justice neither do videos.

In fact pictures in general don't do it justice imo. I had no desire to see the Eiffel Tower but now I can't stop staring at it.

Awesome

Enjoy Paris!

Looks magnificent!

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Ah.... le gay Paris...

 

[Red Squirrel]

Nice. FYI it's actually illegal to photograph the tower at night. Basically it's physically copyrighted, so taking a pic of it is copyright infringement. Got to like how idiotic IP laws can be.

But I'd probably do it anyway, because screw those stupid laws. Just upload pics to a server using an encrypted connection and delete from camera before leaving.

Any symptoms of Paris Syndrome OP?

They have the sparkly light show every night - starts at 11 IIRC. The area around the tower is nice, quiet, and dark - we've stayed there a few times and really enjoyed it. We stayed in the St. Germain area when we were in Paris last December and it was just too loud and busy in comparison.

You're not far from Les Invalides, where the tombs of Napoleon and other famous French people (like Marshall Foch) are buried. There's also a military museum there which is quite nice. The Rodin museum is close to that as well, and you're probably only a street or two over from Rue Cler, which is a relatively famous street in the 7th which has a bunch of food markets.

Regardless, enjoy it and have fun. Paris is a great city with a ton of stuff to do - we've been several times and still have things we want to do. Consider the Paris Museum pass if you're going to be there for several days and want to see the Louvre, Orsay, and other museums - it will allow you to skip huge lines. (PRO TIP: There is a side entrance to the Louvre which generally has no lines - it was closed when we were there in December but there is an underground mall next to the Louvre called the Carrousel and it also has an entrance into the Louvre which isn't as crowded as the pyramid entrance). The Louvre is seriously one of my favorite places in the world.

Actually, it is not illegal to photograph it at night - I suggest you carefully reread it.

I can almost smell the croissants from here!

Just want to pass out a dorkified tip I read about in a cool book. Never stay in a hotel higher than the 7th floor (at least I think it's the 7th or 6th) The reason being is that a fire truck ladder doesn't reach past that. Also, never stay on the 1st floor. It's where thieves like to play and have a nice get away.

We just got back from a long day of tourist shit. Went up the tower which was pretty damn high, went to notre dame and louvre. Feet are so tired lol. Louvre was neat but probably wouldn't go back as I am just not into the history behind it all. But the artwork and sculptures were pretty cool. Notre dame was cooler than I thought too. We are here for all of tomorrow then head back to Spain around 1pm Saturday.
