Paris after dark

written by robin

One of the most beautiful and magical times in Paris is after dark.  The city is still full of life, but it takes on a wonderful glow, especially all of the monuments and museums the city is famous for.

Like the Tour Eiffel

So, next time you are in Paris, make sure you save time to set out for a stroll when darkness falls and the city is bathed in evening light.  Pick an area and walk up and down the banks of the Seine for a free light show you will never forget.  Grab an outside table at a cafe for a late night snack or cocktail. And if your tootsies are too sore from all the walking you have done during the day, don’t worry!  A relaxing boat ride is a great alternative.  It’s a great way to while away an hour and see great views of the river.  I prefer the smaller Bateaux Les Vedettes du Pont Neuf.  The commentary is live and the boats are smaller, creating a more intimate tour. 

Paris at night…c’est magnifique!
