The Eiffel Tower stood on the Champ de Mars beside the Seine River. How tall is the Eiffel tower? The height of Eiffel tower is 325 m (1,063 ft – including the 24m (79ft) antenna). You can also take a Eiffel Tower tour for a better understanding of this remarkable monument. The Eiffel Tower alone attracted 6.7 million visitors in 2006, according to Wikipedia. Finally, I saw this 10,000 tonnes structure before my own eye. Amazing, what an engineering effort. However, I did not have a change to go up and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city. I took a few pictures of the Eiffel Tower and I am done with it…..

Where is Mona Lisa? I know where, it is located at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Apart from this fascinating painting by Leonardo da Vinci, the Louvre Museum in Paris is the world’s most famous art museum and is one of the oldest museums in Europe. Since my main aim is to appreciate this master piece, I headed straight to where it is hung. Yes, finally, right in front of my eyes is the most take about master piece. Indeed, it is a awesome piece with the fine colors and details of the drawings. As usually, I took a few shot for remembrance. With my limited knowledge of arts, I started to explore the Louvre Museum and slowly enjoy the rest of the great master piece. It is rather educational, inspiring and totally enchanted by all the great works. So, do take your time and enjoy while you are at the Louvre Museum.
