Paris France

The most recognisable symbol of Paris is the 324 metre (1,063 ft) Eiffel tower on the banks of the Seine.

You can go to the top in the lift, big queues at peak times. The view of Paris is well worth the wait .

The view from the observation platform, especially at dusk, more than exceeds any expectations. All of Paris shines below as the city is illuminated by both the onset of electric lights and the fading sun.

The Métro was opened on 19 July 1900 The system has 199 km (124 miles) of track It is one of the best ways to get around Paris.
