Paris: Eiffel tower at twilight

Day 1 of the Paris trip: (backblip!) We explored Montmartre, visited Sacré Coeur and walked all the way up the Arc de Triomphe and saw fabulous views over Paris. In the evening, we sat in front of the Eiffel Tower and relaxed. We saw the sky get darker as we sat and the sparkly lights switch on, but this is my favourite photo. Unfortunately we didn't manage to go up the tower during our stay -after waiting over an hour we were told the security staff at the tower were on strike!
