Named the “La Bulle Parisienne” (Parisian Bubble) visitors are invited to enjoy different options for breakfast, lunch and dinner with unobstructed views onto the city.
Well, this calls for a partner in crime. My Southern Belle friend is the perfect match. And breakfast would be the best time to climb the tower.
9am and we are queuing to squeeze into the lift with hundreds of unsuspecting tourists who are heading all the way up to the top of the tower. We hop off at the second floor and take in the breathtaking views. After having taken enough photos in all 4 directions, we happily skip down the stairs to the first floor and head towards "La Bulle Parisienne" to delight your taste buds with a café crème and pastries created by chef by Thierry Marx.
Even the sun is out today and the tower is gleaming as if to convince me that this city is not that bad after all. It is on days like these that I fall in love with Paris all over again... and...
... I'll always have the Eiffel Tower to admire!
Looking up rather than down!
La Bulle Parisinne
Cosy little French bistrot
The detail is mind boggling
View onto the Trocadero and La Défense
Looking down Champs de Mars and onto La Tour Montparnasse
Following the Seine river
Spot the Arc de Triomphe?
Beautiful autumn colours all around
Sacre Coeur in the distance
Beautiful examples of Hausmannien architecture
Standing under the Eiffel Tower
