Eiffel Tower Bottom washington but when lit up inThis was taken around midnight in Paris, where this area is almost totally deserted. Such a beautiful time to be in Paris. It's quiet, soft and magical. I love this spot, just under the Eiffel Tower, but it's normally so manic and packed with tourists at all times, it's sometimes hard to just enjoy the space. It was a personal highlight of the trip Paris to just stand there with it being almost deserted and just take in the marvelous space. Lights on
