In front of the Giant

Gustave's legacy

Walking through Paris is very similar to waliking throug heaven. I guess that's why they call it The City og Lights. To me being in this beautiful city was like being at the same time in the 19th century and in the very bright future. But the present is what you will really enjoy if you find yourself in front of one of the greatest giant masterpieces - The Eiffel Tower. Big iron monument left me almost breathless when I saw it for the first time. Located on the Cham de Mars in this beautiful city, it looks almost unrealistic. I suppose Gustave was ahead of his time. I don't know wheather the tower itself or climbing on it was one of the greatest experiences I have lived to recount. The moment when the Sun went down and the lights on the Tower were turned on seemed like the sceene from the best romantic Hollywood movie. I was as excites as a little child. That was my first time in such a big city and it was super special. I felt like a movie star.
It is very important to pick the right moment to visit such a lovely place because I definitely think that spring improved my impression. Georgeous breeze beautifies the moment. Also it is important to go there with people who will make you feel even more special. I went there with my girlfriend and I will never forget drinking champagne on the third platform, enjoying the breathtaking view, and hugging the most beutiful girl in the world. Even riding in the elevator on the Tower was special, interesting experiance. I have never saw an elevator rides diagonally. And if you add the fact that you can see everything throuh that elevator and that you are over two hundred meters above the ground, you will be able to see my point.
My visit to Paris was something really special. It was all about lights and freedom. The citiy itself is all about lights and freedom, and you will be able to feel it once you go there. I wouldn'd change a thing because all the stars came together (the place, the weather, and most important - the person I've been with) so if I go there again, I would go in april (like the first time) with my special person. Enjoyment guaranteed !
