La Tour Eiffel / Canon G-11




La Tour Eiffel is probably the most iconic structure in Paris. I hate this word iconic but at time I have to use it. Along with the Notre Dame cathedral and the Seine, it defines this glorious city. A trip to Paris without visiting this structure is a waste. However, the number of tourists that are waiting to go up is so great as to discourage many. On the day we went, the throngs were extremely large. We had been there several times in the past so we did not go up. I recall when we could just go up. But that was long ago. We got nice panoramic views from the Gare d'Orsay roof and from Sacre Coeur in Montmartre.
