City of Lights

I'm still enchanted with Paris. Its just one of those cities that sucks you up and you never want to be spat out. I had a friend staying at a lovely hotel in front of the Louvre. This photo, her view from the window on to rue de Rivoli was enchanting. One can understand why it is called the

City of Lights.

If you stand on one of the bridges crossing the Seine at 1am, you can see the lights of the monuments turn off consecutively. It starts in the direction of La Bibliothèque Nationale de France (13 arr.) and one by one, each area is switched off, each bridge, one by one, ending towards where the little Statue of Liberty next to the Pont de Grenelle bridge(16 arr.).
It’s like being in a football stadium

and the crowd is doing a wave...
