| The Eiffel Tower is considered to be the symbol of Paris, it has three platforms, at the first two platforms you may have a nice rest at the pubs and restaurants, and delight from the magnificent view of Paris. To know Paris is not enough to visit just the museums. You must walk along the squares, then drink a coffee in any of the Montmartre cafÈ though the prices are high it is worth to feel as living in a postcard. Afterwards you may board the boat that takes you all along the Sena river to admire Paris at night or go to one of the most famous cabarets. The last night in the City of Light we spent it at the Moulin Rouge where we enjoy a fabulous Parisian show. Almost at dawn we went to sit by river shore, the pale morning of Paris grew over our shoulders. Then I remember some lines of a Cuban poet: "Abandon Paris, is to abandon yourself" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
