Next, we take the metro to the Eiffel Tower (le Tour d’Eiffel). Everything in Paris is laid out so beautifully. For such a historic, large city, everything seems beautiful by design, with lawns and parks and huge trees everywhere. The buildings are also limited in height, so there is a feeling of serenity and balance.
The area around the Eiffel Tower is no exception. There are lawns surrounding the perimeter of Paris. On the recommendation of a few friends, we go across the way to the Trocadero, which is across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. We sat down and just relaxed and enjoyed the view from afar.
Note - this is one of the few spots in Paris where sitting in the grass is acceptable.
