Paris is definitely one of my top 10 cities in the world and since this is the first city (outside of South Africa) that I travelled to with my wife, it will always have a special place in my heart.
On our last night in Paris we decided to take night photos and, at least, take photos of two of the most famous monuments in Paris: (1) the Eiffel tower and the Arc de Triomphe. I have featured the Eiffel in a previous post and I think everyone knows this iconic iron town on the Champ de Mars designed and built by Gustave Eiffel.
The Arc de Triomphe stands in the middle of a traffic circle at the western end of the Champs-Élysées in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought & died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (got this from Wikipedia).
Tell me what you think and stay tuned for more?!
