Day Five (pm) : Paris Landmarks

After getting out of The Louvre, it's time to discover two of Paris' famous landmarks.

The first : Champ de Eleysse. It's a victory monument, errected by Napoleon Bonanparte to celebrate a war victory.

This huge monument is situated on a busy traffic roundabout, which has seven different main roads leading in and out of it. The only way to walk to the Champ de Eleysse is not by crossing any roads... sorry, no traffic lights for pedestrian crossing.

You need to walk under the streets, in a pedestrian tunnel.

Thank God they didn't charge a penny at that tunnel!

The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier.

His fire is kept alight forever.

This is an idea of what is inside the Champ de Eleysse.

Well, at least it's not an empty monument.

Night approches fast.

I say goodbye to the Champ de Eleysse... and find another Paris landmark.

On my night walk, I past by some couture houses.

Recognized any of them?

There it is!

La Tour Eiffel...

Thrilled!!!

But is it so hard to take a decent picture of me?!

Even at night, crowds of people (mostly tour groups) line up to take the limited elevators to the three levels on that tower. FYI, no free rides. But if you're under 26 years old, you are allowed to climb up the stairs... all the way to the top... for FREE!

Just sitting under that tower of steel, people-watching and admiring a man-made marvel. Fact : the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris. Lovely! Not at all like sky-scrapper jungle KL.

I call this, "Paris When It Sizzles"
