Eiffel Tower in Winter

It would be an understatement to say that this is one of my favorite images of Paris. It was taken in January 2010 and since then has been the screensaver for my MacBook air, iPad and iPhone.

I Love Paris in the Winter...

When it drizzles or snows. Dress warmly, but not too much, and venture out on foot. After a good walk, enjoy a vin chaud.

Here are the rest of the lyrics...

'Every time I look down on, this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies
Whether loud be her cheers or whether soft be her tears
More and more do I realize that

I love Paris in the spring time
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris
Why, oh, why do I love Paris?
Because my love is here'

Paris at Night

 

 

As all who have spent some time in Paris well know, the transportation system is extensive and relatively inexpensive. Both the Métro and bus system will take you anywhere. If time is of the essence, then the Métro is the way to go. Otherwise, a trip by bus can be like a really cheap tour, winding through the streets of each arrondissement. During pleasant weather, nothing beats a boat ride on the Seine.

Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel et Tour Eiffel

The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch in Paris, located in the Place du Carrousel on the site of the former Tuileries Palace. It was built between 1806 and 1808 to commemorate Napoleon's military victories of the previous year.

La dame de fer

To say that I am enamored with the Eiffel Tower would be an understatement. I've posted the Tower several times and will continue to do so until I run out of photos. I love the 'Iron Lady".
