| Eiffel Tower |
Being from alittle town I took train to succeed in Delhi and from there I booked tickets on behalf of me and my friends to Paris.The flight which I took was Gulf Air and experiencing everything for the primary time within the flight was really amazing and brooding about how fabulous it might be once we reach to Paris.
The Gulf Air flight began to begin the runway at 5:40a.m. and after four hours it reached to Bahrain and from there it directly landed within the City of dreams that's Paris at 6:45P.M.
The facility which flight provided us was really praiseworthy and that i was pleased to ascertain how disciplined stewardess were.
Apart from this,after getting landed on runway,we just got checked at airport then we collected our babbage,took taxi towards our booked 'Hôtel Paris Lafayette'.All friends took shower and rest for a few time then we decided to travel whole Paris.
The first name to go to came to everyone's mind was Eiffel Tower
.
Let me tell you guys what an exquisite day it become after seeing Eiffel Tower .Tourist guide started telling the history of this beautiful heaven.
Tower's wonderful and marvelous design was made by Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel for the Paris Exhibition of 1889, which marked the centenary of the French Revolution .
This tower has 18,000 sturdy iron section which weighs 10,000 tons and held by 2.5million of rivets.This structure is taken into account as masterful architectural design and most famous site within the world .It is said that one who visits Paris and doesn't visits Eiffel Tower then he has seen nothing.
From the Jardins du Trocadéro and therefore the lawns of the Champs de Mars, there's just the proper distance from the Eiffel Tower . Reaching 324 meters tall , the tower was the world's tallest building.
We took elevator to succeed in initially level which is at 57 meters then second level at 115 meters.The outlook seems to be speculator reaching on the highest .We decided to succeed in the highest level which is at 276meters and this thrilling moment really made us feel goosebumps.What we actually saw from the highest level is that each person standing on the bottom seem to be like ants roaming here and there.I felt as a king ruling them. heheheheheheh
Forgot to inform that Verne Restaurant is on the second floor which is for gourmet meal . Restaurant features most expansive windows to enjoy wonderful panaromas.We clicked many images there and shared them on our social networking sites.Then back to our hotel.
Louvre Museum(Musée du Louvre) was once a home for France king and now it's most vital museum of Paris.We entered from the courtyard of the palace at the glass pyramid which was designed in 1917 by Leoh Ming Pei.This museum has quite 30,000 artworks among which many were considered as masterpieces.It was not very easy to ascertain whole meseum in at some point because it had been so large and each painting was meaningful and luxurious
The most famous painting was Mona Lisa painting which was painted by Leonardo Leonardo in 1503-05.I have seen fake painting everywhere but therein museum I saw real one.
Apart from this,many other exceptional paintings I saw like immense Wedding Feast at Cana painting by Veronese,Liberty Leading the People,Botticelli's frescoes,Venus de Milo sculpture and Victory of Samothrace of the Hellenistic period.
This museum was surrounded by Jardin des Tuileries Park from one side and celebrated landscape gardener André Le Notre was created in classic French style ,manicured trees; two ponds; and statues by Rodin, Giacometti, and Maillol. Park benches and cafe for outdoor seating was also there.Everything I even have seen in movies only but now after seeing in real i used to be astonished how big and wonderful these monuments are.
After watching everything we went back to hotel for rest then slept properly there.Decided for our next plan in morning and thought to go to Cathedral of Paris as heard of it as most beautiful by other tourists.ts.
Our another visit was to Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris:-
This cathedral was found by founded in 1163 by King Louis IX (Saint Louis) and Bishop Maurice de Sully.Construction took nearly 150years and is triumph of Gothic .Island of Seine ,the lle de la Cite is center of historical and geographical site in Paris.
Gallo-Roman city of Lutetia was built on alittle plot of land by Romans from 6th Century -14th Century.
The ornamental design of facade attracted us alot and therefore the Gallery of King as 21 figures at the doorway which shows those figures lost their heads during Revolution.
80 Old Testament scenes are stunning art of labor centred round the Virgin once we enter sanctuary to require within the thanks to grandeur.Rose window within the transept is magnificent with lights of flickering candles inside.
This what we experienced in our tour with friends and much of fun we've .ve .

Palais Garnier, Opéra National de Paris
We all three friends are visited Opera which was commissioned by Nepoleon third in 1860 and designed by Charles Garnier during a Baroque style.Garnier worked on this project for 13 years i.e. from 1862 to 1875,a long period he took to style this beautiful Opera.It is the symbol of Nepoleon's regime
Features of Opera:-
Classical columns and having eight sculptures represents allegorical figures mainly-Poetry, Music, Idyll, Recitation, Song, Drama, and Dance.Loggia depicts composers Rossini, Beethoven, and Mozart and cupola was on top of statue of Apollo.Entering inside the building it's around 11,000 metres which made us.Mainly most of the building's space is devoted to Grand Escalier.
Auditorium has red-velvet seats where quite 2000 persons can sit.
Theatre's sunshine is due to Chagall ceiling painting and crystal chandelier and perfect place for dramatic cultural performances.Including Opera,we had chance to see ballet,music concerts,Galla events.In the evening the lighting of that place makes me feel paradise.
Bibliotèchque-Musée de l'Opera is the library meseum located inside the Opera House which has museum's permanent collection features drawings of costumes and scenery, scale models, and paintings of the building and centuries of archives were safely kept there.Near there was a stylish contemporary restaurant.
We travelled lots of places and in a chilled weather we experienced lots of beautiful moments but many places left where we can't go just because we don't have so much time and capturing moments of my life which I never dreamt of seeing heaven in real I saw that also after spending time in Paris.
