Paris by Night
Best ideas for going out...

Paris is magic with all its lights. Probably my first choice will be go from the Arc de Triomphe walk down to the Champs-Elysees.

My second choice will be the Eiffel Tower climb to the top and front of you... the breathtaking view from the top floor! Getting around Paris is unique!

A good idea will be take a bus tours! It's a great way to see the illuminations of the main monuments The Eiffel tower, The Louvre, The Arc de Triomphe, Place de La Concorde, The Opera House...and see Paris by night. It takes about 1h30 for the tour.

Another wonderful idea will be floating down the Seine aboard a sight-seeing boat called the Bateaux-Mouches . It's a delightful way to see the monuments when they're illuminated. Have a romantic dinner on the boat!
