The Eiffel Tower was lit up in honor of the 50th anniversary of the European Union.
We chose the hottest day possible to climb the long hill up to the Sacre Coeur. One sign said 38 degrees Celsius. Of course, it was worth every step.
There are pony statues all over town giving Paris the nickname of "Pony Town" (I've never heard it called that until I said it out loud walking in the city, but it's an apt nickname) . The first night that we arrived we walked along the Seine River and kept walking. Every bridge is a little different. No matter how tired we were it seemed like we should keep walking because there was so much to see.
There are a couple of Courtyards outside of the Louvre. This is one in the evening with a classic view.
