Paris - March '03

We took a day trip to Paris while we were in EuroDisney which is about an hour train ride away. We only got to see the Eiffel Tower and the Arc D'Triomphe and hope to return to explore the city more. We gotta say we didn't meet many friendly Parisians, not very nice people. No offence caused hopefully!
The Arc de Triomphe. We walked straight out of the subway and it was the first thing we saw. Very, very happy peoples.

The tower at night, all lit up as we about to jump on it. We were hoping to get on it before sundown.

We're at the top of the tower, rather dark photos of Paris by night and nothing but lights, but we were just over 300m up!
