Comments:
Probably the most famoust landmark in France (and probably Europe) so make sure you've 'been there done that'!  Gives you a great view of the city streets & buildings of Paris.  Be sure to get a night view of the illumination as well and see what colour lights you get on your visit...



saw this restaurant & it's name when making ou way to the Eiffel Tower
