Eiffel Tower


View from the middle level of the Eiffel Tower


Typically, photos from the top of the Eiffel Tower are aimed at the surrounding cityscape. On this night, halfway through our descent of the legendary tower, our attention was caught by a few lone voices singing a holiday song in french. We watched as more and more by-standers turned participant, joining the growing clot of singers at the base of Paris' most famous site. While the view of the city was far from over-rated AND we witnessed a tearful proposal at the top (I don't know that you can visit Paris without seeing a proposal, put that on your list of 'Must-Sees' and 'To-Dos' while there), this group of impromptu singers and their collective energy is what struck me most of all. Only in Paris.
