Day 3
Best Easter Ever! 🐣
April 17, 2022 in France ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
Early start to beat the queues for what was going to be a cultural overload of a day!

Spent over 2 hours in the Louvre and got to see the Greats .... can you see the resemblance between Mona and I?

Then remembered it was Easter and just had to have macaroons from Ladurie in the absence of any Easter Eggs.

Still hungry, we tried a hip, modern place called Kith. Ordered French toast which actually came out more as a French loaf!!

Then off to 59 Rue Rivoli, to explore local french artists on 5 floors of pure creativity!

Then a romantic stroll down the Champs Elysee with obligatory Eiffel Tower selfie!

But the hands-down, best visit was to the grandiose, opulent and breathtakingly beautiful Paris Opera House. Can't quite describe the majestic ceilings, amphitheater and stage.... just know I desperately wanted a ball gown and some glass slippers!Read more

This was a dream come true... Éowyn told me it was on her bucket list. Then she freaked out about it.

You guys, it's a lot of stairs. A LOT. We all made it, but thank goodness they have a cafe and toliets at the second level.Read more

Day 2
Eifelturm
June 4, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
15.15Uhr gingen wir zu unserem Treffpunkt um auf den Eifelturm zu gehen. Dann hieß es erstmal „Warten“. Tausende von Menschen und alle mit einem Ziel: „Hoch auf den Eifelturm“. Doch das Warten hatte sich gelohnt. Wir fuhren zuerst auf die zweite Ebene, wo wir von unserem Gästeführer viele Infos über den Eifelturm und Paris bekamen. Dann fuhren wir auf die dritte Ebene. Neuland für mich. Schon die Fahrt mit dem Fahrstuhl war spektakulär. Ganz oben lag uns ganz Paris zu Füßen. Ein Unwetter zog auf und es begann zu regnen und kräftig zu winden. Von einer Minute auf die andere wurden wir fast vom Wind weg geblasen. Ein riesiger Spaß mit ein paar lustigen Fotos.Read more

Day 59
63ème étape ~ Paris (jour 1)
September 30, 2022 in France ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
Après 2 jours de repos à dormir, regarder des séries et manger (encore), nous sommes arrivés jeudi soir chez à Christelle et Franck, la famille Zanutel.
Nous décidons de visiter Paris grâce à la meilleure guide que l’on connaisse : notre fidèle amie Léa Granger ♥️
Nous commençons par une activité insolite : manger !
Ensuite, nous montons jusqu’au 2ème étage de la Tour Eiffel à pied, 670 marches ! Nous ne pouvons pas aller plus haut car il y a la Fashion Week et le sommet est réservé pour un show organisé par Louboutin.
Ensuite balade jusqu’au mur des Je t’aime.
Après avoir bu un verre en terrasse, nous rejoignons les Zanutel pour manger un morceau et assister à un spectacle de stand up.
Journée bien remplie, environ 15km de balade ☺️Read more

Day 19
La Tour Eiffel de nuit ✨️
March 31, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Auch mein zweiter Tag hier startete erneut am Eiffelturm, dieses Mal jedoch mit der Absicht nach oben zu gehen 🚶‍♀️Auch wenn das Wetter nicht so schön wie gestern und aufgrund des Sturms leider die Spitze des Turms zur Besichtigung gesperrt war, hat es sich trotz allem gelohnt. Der Ausblick über die gesamte Stadt war wunderschön und die Konstruktion des 330 Meter hohen Turms echt interessant (die letzten sechs Meter des Turms wurden von einer Funkantenne beigesteuert 😅📡). Auf meinem Weg zum nächsten Katzencafé kam ich zudem am Arc de Triomphe vorbei und habe somit einen Platz gefunden, an dem nichtmal ich Lust auf Autofahren hätte! Der Bogen befindet sich nämlich inmitten eines 12-spurigen Kreisverkehrs! Im Katzencafé angekommen hatte ich eine der vermutlich leckersten heißen Schokoladen meines Lebens und das nicht nur weil sich auf dieser 2 Donuts befanden! 🍩🍩 Außerdem habe ich eine neue Freundin im Katzencafé gefunden: Jessi die (fast-)Nacktkatze der Gattung Devon Rex kam die ganze Zeit zu mir 🐈🐈
Dort wo ich meinen Tag heute begonnen habe, hat er auch wieder geendet und zwar mit einem der bisherigen Highlights meiner Reise: Dem Eiffelturm bei Nacht 🌃✨️ Auch dies war wieder einer der Momente, bei welchem die tatsächliche Schönheit nicht auf einen Bild/Video eingefangen werden konnte. Absolut traumhaft. ✨️Read more

Day 11
Eiffel Tower - Cam's Birthday Part 1
April 9, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
Happy Birthday Campbell! When we planned this trip, we asked Cam where he wanted to be for his birthday. His first response was with his cousins in Paris, then more specifically up on top of the Eiffel Tower. It was an early start to get there and we queued for nearly 2 hours before finally making it into the lift. The tour guide we were with filled in the time however with some interesting facts and history about the tower, one of the more interesting is that the French Government paid for only two thirds of the construction. Gustave Eiffel, the owner of the engineering company commissioned to create the structure, needed to fund the rest. In the negotiations, he had the government agree to his ownership of the tower. The tower remains in the Eiffel family estate to this day.

Eventually, we made it onto the lift and up to level 2. Jack's aversion to heights kicked in and he felt quite uncomfortable, however to his credit, he made it all the way to the top and can tick it off his list. At level 2, we wandered around and took in the open air view of the city.

After a while, we made our way (via another extensive queue) to the lift to head to the top of the tower. Some 300m above the Champs de Mars, we are afforded spectacular views of the city. Fred found exactly how high we were, 280m, and the wait was all worth it.Read more

Day 6
Eiffel Tower big day
September 9, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
After the late arrival of the two rubgy fans home, three snuck out for brekkie and came back to pick up the stragglers. Kel decided to have a relaxing day, so Susie, Beth, Louise and I went off in search of the hop on hop off bus pick up point. Only a mere 1.8km walk to the Louvre and we were on to it. What a beautiful and exciting city Paris is. Such fun on the HoHo but man the heat was pretty oppressive today. Stayed on board, even though I had said I was going up the Eiffel Tower come hook or by crook, but common sense dictated that might be for a cooler day in the future. Hopped off at Lafette and had a good nosy round the beautiful shops. Lunch at Paul and Juliennes place, smoked trout and a cheese platter. delicious.
Tonight we have been on our Seine Cruise Dinner and what an experience that was. Delicious food from the start to end, and oh my god, Paris in lights is unforgettable…. just the icing on the cake for me.
Everyone is scattering to different events tomorrow but Im sure. you will hear all about it. Time for bed, its 1.00am and Beth and I have to be up and gone by 6 xxRead more

Day 12
Iconic Paris
September 17, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
We did the Eiffel Tower climb this morning - a first for me. I didn’t do it the last trip. It was 674 stairs to the 2nd floor - and then we took the elevator to the summit, the height of an 81 story skyscraper. Back when it was built in 1889 (for the Worlds fair) it was the tallest structure in the world at that time!

We learned all sorts of things on our tour - one fact I found interesting: when The Nazis invaded France, Hitler wanted a photo op of him personally hanging the Nazi flag from the top of the tower. The French would not hear of it, and cut the cables to the elevators, rendering them useless - and Hitler was said to have been afraid of heights and wouldn’t do the hike to the top - so no Nazi flag ever was flown. They said “you can take our country, but you cannot take our tower”.

We walked through the river area and saw a few sites on the way - I love seeing the Egyptian obelisk. It was a gift to the French, and an identical one stands at the Luxor temple with a blank space representing this one. Fun that I’ve seen them both! Then went to the Arc de Triumph. A military monument built in the center of Paris. That turned out to be another 282 stairs. My legs were shaking by the time we got down.

We jumped on a hop on/hop off bus for a bit of a rest - which are really nice if you ever get a chance. Very relaxing. Then went on a Seine River cruise. We topped off our evening seeing the Eiffel Tower at night all lit up. Pretty sight.

Christie Mitchell Thanks!! This has been a push. Last trip I think we eased into walking so much by starting in Mexico. This one, had to just jump in with both feet - it’s definitely been an extreme challenge for me physically. Europe is just a walking continent

Day 3
674 Stufen bei strahlendem ...
October 24, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
... Sonnenschein 🌞

Zum Glück 🍀hat uns das Taxi 🚕gestern versetzt. Heute konnten wir unserem zweiten Anlauf🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ bei 17 Grad und Sonne 🌤den Aufstieg antreten.

Morgens 🥱 9:30 Uhr ging es los. Sicherheitskontrolle🦺👮‍♀️ eins und zwei waren schnell hinter uns gebracht.

7️⃣ Stufen später war Äffchen🙊 schon völlig ausser Atem. Durchgezogen🏁 hat sie dennoch.

Mit kurzen Pausen auf Level eins und zwei haben wir dann den Fahrstuhl 👨‍🦼in die Spitze 🔝des Turms 🗼genommen. Zuvor gab es aber noch eine Gesangseinlage und Infos von unserem grandiosen Guide🥹

Auf gut 300 Meter gab es neben der wahnsinns🤗 Aussicht🔭 eine Sammlermünze für Yannic. Ebenso wäre Champagner 🍾 und Kaviar möglich gewesen.

Nachdem wir uns satt gesehen👀 haben ging es mehrere Fahrstuhlfahrten🚊 abwärts bis wir wieder Boden unter den Füßen🦶 hatten.

Souvenir-Shopping💸 im Anschluss machten den Vormittag perfekt.

Nach einer meeegaaa Rollerfahrt🛵, einem Kaffee ☕️ und Baguette🍞 ging es zu Fuß weiter zum Louvre.

Nur mal schon für morgen schauen.☺️

Jetzt geht's zurück ins Hotel🏨 ... kurz Kraft 💪🏽tanken ⛽️ für das heutige Nachprogramm🌃🕺💃🏽Read more

The Eiffel Tower (by Lewis)
May 18, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
While in Paris, we climbed to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Looking out the top is very exciting because you can see for miles around. We raced to the bottom for fun. Mom and Andrew took the stairs and Dad and I took the elevator. Andrew and Mom won by a few seconds >:(. Workers are painting the Eiffel Tower gold for the Olympics. The colors have changed over the years, from red to yellow, then the brownish-yellow it is now. I had thought it would be taller, though it still was a breathtaking event.Read more
