The Eiffel Tower is one of the most talked about sights, when one is growing up and living in the French language and culture. As a student of the French language, back in school, when anyone asked, "what do you think of when you think of France ?", without a blink, the answer would be the Eiffel Tower ! This clichéd sight, with its gigantic structure and lights !When i first came to France, i was a little girl, just excited about taking pictures in front of all the famous sights, to show back to my family and friends. But this time, when i went to visit Paris, i really took the time to admire and appreciate all that i was seeing. Touching the old stone pillars of the Notre Dame, and trying to feel the history and stories coming out of them, to simply walking along the Champs Elysees, and seeing the richest and finest ware.
The magnanimity of the Louvre and its majestic pyramid, with the power it held within it. But what won my heart right out, was none other than the sight of the Eiffel Tower. It stood so huge and smart, right in the middle of this city of art. Blinking its blue lights and the numerous people gaping at it, i took my turn to just stand in front and feel the power of it. The sight is beautiful even in day light, but nothing to come even close to comparing it at night !
Paris took my breath away, with its gorgeous sights and lights ! If i have to come back another time, i think it will be Paris, which will be my first choice :)
