City of Lights
Paris after dark can be beyond gorgeous. You can see and feel the Eiffel Tower looking down on you from miles away. The city beams with lights and every sight evokes the presence of a galaxy not so far away filled with a gazillion stars with each a story to tell. If you’re in luck, you might even witness a performance of the multiple bulbs that make the Eiffel Tower depend ending on what’s being celebrated.
Cafes

This is the quintessential Parisian experience, and you should definitely take a moment when out sightseeing, to breathe.
