During my family's last visit, my daughter was so captivated that I decided to start a new venture, creating a line of jewelry containing a genuine piece of the Eiffel Tower---an incredibly precious, unique and beautiful souvenir for romantics and dreamers all over the world.<br /><br />May you always hold Paris in your heart and in your dreams!

It was magnificent and I can't recommend it enough. I've never visited the Trocadero as whenever we've been in Paris it's been covered for special events.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-23211869388277905752012-07-23T11:09:16.943-04:002012-07-23T11:09:16.943-04:00Brilliant!!!

One of my favorite memories was seeing the ET from the deck of boat while cruising the Seine. The "sparkle light show" was amazing! So are your photos. I love the pink sunset and the fun pic at the end. I'll have to remember that next time I go, and after reading this post I hope it's soon.

I've been here twice and apparently was entranced beyond words by your photos. <br /><br />I do love the night/lights photos, but I'm equally fond of the ironwork tracery. The second sunset photo's my favorite for that reason - the "essence of Eiffel" just shines through.<br /><br />Whether I can pull it off, I don't know, but you and Arti have inspired me to <i>try</i> for a Paris in July post. We'll see.

The tips is: walk up to the next floor, and from there you have a much less long wait to go up.<br />Also to let you know: unfortunately there are quite a few hermaphrodite words in French, that is, the same noun can be either masculine or feminine, then of course with 2 different, and unrelated! meanings. So LE tour = the tour, like when you tour something - le tour de France.<br />BUT the tower = LA tour! so it LA Tour Eiffel.<br />Eiffel was born in my home town, Dijon, Burgundy. They have a beautiful statue by him there, a bird. here is the link: <br />http://goo.gl/PXrjwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-12636490889751968262012-07-11T20:13:14.444-04:002012-07-11T20:13:14.444-04:00Rue Cler has a ton of memories for me.

The cheese shops, produce markets, butchers, and other food shops were wonderful -- also the crowds of shoppers. Our friends lived above a butcher shop, in a spacious and very nice apartment. I wonder how much has changed.Mae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-87144173870626646212012-07-11T19:38:13.882-04:002012-07-11T19:38:13.882-04:00Jeanie,
