It's a cliche I know but my girlfriend and I decided to head our separate ways then meet up at the Eiffel Tower for some old-fashioned romance. We had a lovely time up the tower and the views were pretty stunning too.

Last time I went to Paris we did the whole Eiffel Tower thing, and I have to say I preferred it here! Fewer people, great views, and the amazing shops of the Champs Elysees right at your feet!
where, when, how, web
Metro Charles de Gaulle-Etoile or RER Arc de Triomphe

We didn't go right to the top, but the views from the first viewing platform were pretty great! It was a good compromise i think between the views and queueing even more, which we seemed to do a lot of! I had no idea where the business district was!

At first glance a rather bleak place but there's so much to see here, starting with the 3200 year old Egyptian obelisk. And I love looking at all the statues of the french cities around the outside too! Great views all round, particularly up to the Arc de Triomphe.

Paris is full of lovely things but this bridge is one of my favourites, not only does it connect my favourite places, the Hotel des Invalides and the Grand and Petit Palaces but it's so wide and beautifully decorated that it's a pleasure to go to.
