Eiffel Tower Spectacular Panoramic Views from Summit Paris, France 19 June 2013

Regardless of the long queue to go in and more lines to go up, Eiffel tower is a must to visit especially if you are in Paris. Spectacular Panoramic views worth the price and the waiting. Bring your camera and take photos as many as you can.  Beware of pickpocket.  You do not want to spoil your holiday.  

Eiffel Tower is the masterpiece and landmark of Paris.  The tower is famous for its structures and architectures.

Eiffel tower is located in Champ de Mars Paris, France. It was named after its engineer, Gustave Eiffel.  It was criticized at first for its design by the leading artists, soon became the global icon of France.  The tower is the tallest in Paris and the most visited paid monument in the world.

Our 2nd visit in June 2015, we have stayed at Trocadero  to view the magically illuminated tower in the evening from Palais de Chaillot.  I would be posting the photos on my next blog.
