New Year In Paris

Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower by night

Thousands of people gathered to witness how the Eiffel Tower tranforms the lights to blink for five minutes. The blue lights looked stunning in the dark of the winter nights.

There were thousands of people waiting for the New Year, too along Champs Elyseés down to Place de la Concorde. But unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed because of the absence of fireworks display. It’s just this year that the government prohibits using firecrackers and fireworks display. We were not so lucky in this occasion. However, the lights of the city, especially that of Eiffel Tower, are a sight wonderful that no tourists wouldn’t appreciate. Anyhow, it was a peaceful New Year celebration despite the presence of 3,000 police in surveillance in case of tumult.

    Hi Ana, welcome to my very personal site. :-)
    Yes, it’s a nice place, but just too crowded for me.
