I realize it's been two months since I last posted something on this blog, so I'm going to try a new strategy. That is.... shorter posts that I can hopefully add more frequently. So here's the first one!
I think this is a most beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. This picture was taken from the Pullman Hotel, which is
located very close to the Eiffel Tower, just South of the Champs de Mars. The hotel temporarily had a
restaurant on its 10th floor.
Here’s an article with a little more information. (Though I must confess, I had no idea
until I read this that the theme was the 7 Deadly Sins. Nothing I ate in July tasted angry…) While the cuisine was not quite as
extraordinary as one would expect from the price, the view absolutely was. I took this photo after finishing a Thursday
Night Dinner with some friends. We
went for the first time in early July, because the restaurant announced that
its last night of operation would be July 14th. That was a lie. They extended the restaurant’s
existence (does that mean they need to change the name?), and we had dinner on
July 25th. Now they’re
saying that tonight is the last night it will be open, but we’ll see if it’s
extended again.
If it is, it’s totally worth an overpriced drink or dessert
(or maybe even dinner) to see this view.
The view over the rest of Paris was also gorgeous, but didn’t photograph
quite as well. I guess it’s just
one of those things you have to experience. There are so many hidden treasures like this in Paris.
