The Louvre

You probably cannot imagine just how absolutely gigantic the Louvre really is.  This place has just about every type of art you could imagine from the periods and locations that it covers.  The builidng itself is a genuine work of art that will one day be in itself a museum piece.  Incredible.  The Mona Lisa really held a certain kind of respect as the crowds surrounded the tiny painting surrounded in a room sized case and blocked off by several feet worth of fencing.

I will let the photos speak for themselves.  You could spend a week here alone.

The Eiffel Tower

One of the most famous structures in the entire world, constructed in under 3 years and nearly destroyed before the turn of the 20th century, the Eiffel Tower stands over 1000ft high. It offers quite the view from the top which is surprisingly emphasized by the lack of skyscrapers anywhere near the tower. 2 elevators and 12 euros will get you to the top if you have the time and constitution for the queues and wind.

Dining in Paris

I believe the money spent on this meal and venue goes towards the ambiance. Not to say the food was bad, far from it, but I certainly could have paid rent instead.  The interior of the restaurant was just incredible as you can see from the photos.  The mirrors on the walls were absolutely gigantic.  The decadence of the interior reminded me of something reminiscent of the Titanic.
