Departing from London, we travelled underneath the English Channel on a High Speed Train to Paris!
Our first stop: La Tour Eiffel
The Eiffel tower is an amazing steel structure. It was built in 1889 for the the World Exhibition as a tribute to the French Revolution of 1789. It was designed by two French architects who worked for a French Man named Gustave Eiffel. Monsieur Eiffel financed a large portion of the project and thus the tower bears his name. We took an elevator to the top of the tower for an excellent view of Paris .... On the way back down we walked from the second floor to the base .... over 700 steps!
Here are some pictures of our day in Paris .... Viva La France!
