Our first morning in Paris, and where else but Tour Eiffel. We caught the Metro to the Left Bank to visit the Eiffel Tower. When we got there we were disappointed to learn that the viewing platform at the top was closed due to strong winds. So we decided to have a walk around the bottom and come back another time to climb to the top. The tower was built in 1887 by Gustave Eiffel and was the tallest building in the world until it was surpassed by New York's Empire State Building in 1931.
It was a lovely day - but still cold and very windy. We took a stroll around the gardens surrounding the tower, and managed to get some great snaps.
