So, would it be all that we hoped for - Dinner atop the Tour Eiffel - you bet it was :-)
The weather gods were kind to us later in the afternoon and by the time we arrived at the Tour Eiffel the sun was shining. The tower in all it's glory awaited our arrival.
There is something quiet amazing about seeing this iconic landmark - for the first time, or even as a return visitor. It's a lovely experience, one that touches your heart and on special occasions, can bring a petit tear to the eye.
The sun was out, but it was chilly as we queued for the lift to level 2 - 58 Tour Eiffel. Glad we booked early (some three months ago) because we got a great table, overlooking the Trocadero, which is a beautiful evening view as the lights of Paris came alive before our eyes.
And so began the Jubilee Dinner Tour Eiffel style.................... commencing with a complimentary amuse bouche and glass of champagne (and a wee cosmopolitan for Jon, Lou and Geoff). Cheers & Bon Appetit!!!!
