Croissants, fashion, art and beauty.  These are just a few things that Paris, France provides to the world.  Perhaps the most well known historical landmark is the Eiffel Tower.   FUN FACT: “Its construction took two years, two months and five days – 180 years fewer than Paris’s other great attraction, Notre Dame.” (Oliver Smith, 40 Fascinating Facts about the Eiffel Tower)

Hearing crazy facts about the this gorgeous tower didn’t put me in shock.  Climbing hundreds of steps, taking in the stunning view of the city when you finally get to the top and seeing  20,000 lights glisten close to midnight made me admire all of the hard work put into this stunning historical landmark.  Merci, Paris!
