?"
IN THIS NIGHT I PREFERTHE EIFFEL-TOWER
-SPARKLING AND MADE-UP LIKE A STAR -
UP AT THE TOP, TO HAVE THE SAINT SYLVESTRE DINNER
AND WITH THE DESSERT THE FIREWORKS GLITTERING OVER CHAMPS-ELISÉE, NOTRE DAME, THE
SEINE WITH ITS GLOWING GLASS BOATS - ALL THE
TOWN AT ONE GLANCE .***
***The Eiffel Tower offers a decorative visit of the monument
during this holiday season & New Year's days.
Knowing full well that many world travelers will be spending Saint Sylvestre in Paris and will include a visit
to the Tower, the Eiffel Tower also hopes to incite those living in greater Paris to leisurely look out at the
city from the vantage point only the Tower offers. Tearoom
on the First Floor The bar of the Altitude 95 restaurant
has been transformed into a tearoom until January 4. >From 3pm to 5:30pm everyday, holiday visitors can take
a tea break enjoying the large range of teas and pastries offered. The
Second Floor gets a ''1900 Photo Studio'' A turn of the century photo studio has opened on the second floor of the Tower
joining in the festive end of year spirit. Visitors can get souvenir photos of themselves taken in costumes that
were worn in the days of Gustave Eiffel. Forty some costumes are to choose from; simply slip them on over your
street clothes, compose your group and let the camera (an original from the period transformed to accommodate digital
processing) render your image in a few minutes…and in sepia tones!
And Still Glittering…For ten minutes on the hour, from dusk until 1 am, the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower
will join in the festival spirit.
If you can't join the fun at the Eiffel Tower, perhaps you will like another place to celebrate. GET IN THE LINKS BELOW & FOR LAZY BONES YOU CAN ENJOY SOME SHOW-FLASHES ONLINE

LE FOUQUET'S
 Slowly morning is coming up- the
first street-washing trucks browse the streets - and it's time for a nice cup of morning cafe au lait and some
fresh croissants-- just nearby at the next corner bistro the coffee is ready...
Some more amusements? Have as much you desire.
The city is bubbling with French entertainments! - stroll around "Pigalle", beautiful women (may be men...) --look into these special half-light
establishments or a Bistro, and-- why not-- buy 2 tickets for a live-show and look at some Erotic Stars performing
their Art. Remember: it's Paris at night... not breakfast at Tiffany`s.
Then I suggest: take a speedy Taxi home to the Hotel and order a big bottle of Champagne up to your double-room with a French-king-size-bed.
You will never forget Paris!
