La Tour Eiffel



No visit to Paris is complete without a climb to the top of la Tour Eiffel. We line up to get our tickets, and after much waiting, we reach the second floor to take the last elevator to the top. Students brave their fears and we all arrive safely, walk around to see Gustave Eiffel' s little office and the stupendous view from above. (Bennett confesses that he has a fear of heights, and when I propose to stay with him below, he tells me: "I want to be able to say I went to the top!"). Oui, nos enfants ont beaucoup de courage!
We decide to walk down, and it is a fun experience, with much squeals of delight and singing of all our French songs!
Mais nous sommes fatigués....et nous rentrons!
