Paris, France, 13-30 Dec 2003: Tour Eiffel
Steel, Lights And Magic
   Eiffel Tower is the crowning glory of Paris' Left Bank. For a dramatic approach to the Eiffel Tower: take the metro, exit Trocadero station, bear left. The tower springs into immediate view unexpectedly. The impact is unforgettable. Champs de Mar - Fields of War - stretches south along the axis that extends from Palais de Chaillot across the Seine to Eiffel Tower, leading to the Peace Monument and Ecole Militaire at the other end.    |

 At night, Eiffel Tower transforms into an illuminated jewel box. A beacon at its pinnacle beams proudly into the dark sky, drawing admiring gaze from near and far. The best view is from the terrace of the Palais de Chaillot. The audience waits with bated breath. On the hour, Eiffel Tower sparkles into live. All eyes stay glued as a scintillating light show play out in front of an appreciative audience. |
