We enjoyed a nice relaxing day in Paris exploring some of the sites. It was a beautiful day and we took a nice stroll through some of the streets of Paris. Shortly after leaving our hotel we came to a small statue of Liberty near a shopping center.

We didn’t realize why the statue was located there but found out a short time later when we arrived at the Grenelle Bridge.  We walked across the Grenelle bridge which crosses the Seine River. Near the center of the bridge on the Ile aux Cygnes is a Statue of Liberty. It is 11.5 meters high. (37 feet 9 inches) and is a scaled replica of the Statue of Liberty in the United States of America.

This Statue of Liberty was given to France in 1889 as a gift from the United States to celebrate the French Revolution.

We then walked along the Seine River enjoying the views and we could see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. We walked towards the Eiffel Tower and found a beautiful location to admire the Tower and wait for the sun to set in order to see the Eiffel Tower under the lights.

We waited until the sun set and saw the sparkling lights on the Eiffel Tower. The tower was a gold colour and was beautiful to see lit up.

The following day we went back to the Eiffel Tower and took the elevator to the second level. From there we could see almost all of Paris.

The views were truly spectacular and breathtaking. We walked around the entire Tower looking at the 360-degree view of Paris.

We felt secure the entire time we were in Paris. It was common to see police or military walking around the areas.

We enjoyed our time and finished our time in Paris with a selfie photo in front of the Military Museum before heading on to our next adventure.
