This Summer See "Paris By Night"

Travelers attending the D-Day trip this summer have lots of amazing opportunities ahead of them! One that we will discuss at this Sunday night's meeting is an optional "Paris By Night" activity.

This activity will be available either the first or second night we are in Paris. Those who choose to do it will have the opportunity to go up the Eiffel Tower! (Note: This will be travelers' only opportunity to go up the Tower. The following day we will stop to take pictures overlooking the Eiffel Tower, but we will not have time to go up). The trip up the Tower will be followed by a cruise along the River Seine, with a look at some of Paris's most famous landmarks. I had a chance to preview this activity during my training this past Thanksgiving, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Paris is beautiful when lit up for the night, and this is one of the best ways to see it. The pictures here are from my experience.

This is not one of the "optional excursions" that must be pre-booked and paid for through our tour company, but we do need to sign up in advance. This is because our tour director, who would be arranging this for us, must book space for groups and pay for it two weeks in ahead of our arrival. If you want to do this activity, you'll have to commit to it at our meeting and make plans to pay for it while on tour. I'm anticipating the cost will be around 20-25 Euro ($26-30).

Well worth it to take pictures like this: YOU at the top of the Eiffel Tower!
