Around the Eiffel Tower

After our views from the top of the tower, we walked over to the Trocadéro, took in a long range view and then, feeling some of the tourist end of day “feet are sore and out of steam,” we took the first café that looked reasonable called Frog XV. It turned out to be a British pub rather than a place specializing in frogs legs as Beth feared. We opted for one of Beth's favourites (ribs) but noted it really is a wings and beer place, giving it a disappointing 5/10. On the up side, we had no fear of food poisoning. We took the metro back, managing a smooth transfer between stops back to our now familiar neighborhood.

We have a lot of pictures of the Eiffel Tower, built for the 1889 World’s Fair by Gustav Eiffel. It was meant to be a temporary structure but here it still is and it deserves to be the Grand Icon of Paris.Leggi altro
