Back in 2015 trip to Paris!

I signed up for a Tour to explore Europe in a Month in a Trafalgar Tour, highly recommended by the way. It was fun and exciting. I recall the tour beginning by taking us across Dover to France. The first thing we did was go to the arc de triomphe
I began going up the stair and realized how terribly out of shape I was. I felt like I was going to die, the space going up is tiny a spiral staircase that just keeps on going with no windows. I was out of breath and couldn't stop going because people were right behind me. There isn't much room to wiggle. I kept telling myself, Was it really worth coming up these stairs? Can the view really be worth it?

I reached a place right before the top were you could take a seat and catch your breath, I stayed there and was about to go back down when I saw that a bit more and I'd be at the top. So I kept going telling myself that if I died at least it be in Paris!
As I reached the top I felt a Breeze and my whole body felt pleasured by it. The sight was breathtaking.

For a second It felt the earth stand still and I was amazed by the beauty the magic quality of the city.

After that we visited Notre Dame which is stunning. The Stained windows and the amazing construction is just overwhelming.

 A stroll after that through the Latin Quarter  stoping at shops like Kazan, then a walk through the Champs Elysees made me feel like a movie star.

And then the oh so talked about  Eiffel Tower. Up all the way to the second floor. I remember thinking How insane it would be to jump from there. How maybe some desperate soul would climb the tower to the top and look at the world below and imagine how tiny their problems were. How insignificant it all is and in one last breath jump to meet their end.

I know not the romantic first thought people have when mentioning the Eiffel tower but hey my mind isn't normal. It has its dark and twisted moments.  I wrote down on my notepad how that might be an interesting story and then continued to take in the sight from up there. It is truly beautiful.

Then at nightfall a boat ride through the Seine! The Eiffel tour flickering in the night! What a sight.



And to end a perfect trip to Paris, A visit to it's fantastic burlesque night life cannot be missed!



So that was Paris! in a nutshell!
