First Signs of Spring in Paris

Monday, April 15th, 2013
April Shower in Paris Eiffel Tower

Peeking out from under my umbrella at April’s showers over the steps at Place du Trocadero

A Parisian might duly warn visitors en avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil, mais en mai, fais ce qu’il te plait. This French equivalent to April showers bring May flowers, advises not to lose even a thread of clothing in April due to the lasting cold, but promises that we can do as we please in the coming month. While this expression holds true in its caution against the cold, it is the promise of May that better reflects the feelings of anticipation that are sweeping across Paris.

After a long cold winter, Parisians and visitors alike are looking forward to the coming spring with excitement. Although the city’s beauty never fails to amaze no matter the time of year, springtime looks especially good on Paris. The streets come alive with the fresh energy of change and the many parks and accents of nature throughout the city step into the spotlight, flaunting an aesthetically perfected style that defines French landscaping.

Bon Marche Paris Spring Windows

Lovely spring window displays at Le Bon Marché in the 7th arrondissement, one of Paris’s most fabulous department stores

The inspiring springtime hues we associate with sunny skies, outdoor activities, and fewer layers of clothing first appeared throughout Paris’s countless shops and boutiques in their always-beautiful springtime collections. As we approach May, I am all too ready to finally debut my springtime attire that has been simply a tease since spring clothes hit stores late January. Now spring colors are trickling into all other aspects of Paris, as the months race the changing seasons. Signs of spring are popping up in forms other than fashion across Paris such as flowers, fruit, and foliage.

Spring Flowers Tuileries Garden Paris

First of the many flowers to bloom in the beautiful Jardin des Tuileries, the enormous park leading up to the Louvre seen in the background

Leaves slowly begin to unfurl throughout the trees and the flowers dare to blossom despite the last traces of cold weather. Those who have come to love Paris’s parks can’t help but wait with impatience for the day we can once again sit and read around the fountain at Tuileries, or find a new courtyard to stop and share a bag of delicious chouquettes (a must try you can find at most boulangeries). There are too many parks, squares, and courtyards in Paris to know them all, which allows for the opportunity to often stumble upon a new one. I recently discovered Square René Viviani located a few steps away from the famous Shakespeare & Company bookstore. The whimsical archways drew me in to the courtyard, which is an ideal spot to start a new book. As I turned towards the Seine I was surprised with one of the best views of Notre Dame I’ve seen in the city; one that kept me from forgetting this lovely little square.

Paris Square Rene Viviani Spring

Square René Viviani in the 5th arrondissement

The daylight stretches longer into the evenings and the colors of spring wash over the sky with the setting sun, inspiring us once again to daydream of dusting off our sunglasses and leaving the house without an overcoat. The parks of Paris await our company, the markets offer us those mouthwatering seasonal fruits and the streets tempt us to break in our new spring attire. Bienvenue Springtime, Paris is ready for you!

Les Parisettes – A Cute Boutique in the 7th Arrondissement!

Friday, March 15th, 2013
Parisettes Boutique Paris

Stop in Parisettes in the 7th arrondissement for charming Paris gifts

One of the joys of visiting Paris is finding a memento or souvenir to take back with you, or something special for your loved ones back home from the City of Light. We have several favorite gift shops that carry items much nicer than the typical tacky souvenir stands. One of our favorites is Les Parisettes, a darling shop with ”souvenirs chic & trendy.” They carry a great assortment of affordable, nice quality jewelry, cards, books, stationary, linens, housewares, puzzles, games and more, with Paris and Eiffel Tower themes. Some of the wooden die cut puzzles are made in Montmartre, as are some of the unique stationary items.

Les Parisettes Gift Shop Paris

Colorful and fun Paris themed gifts at Les Parisettes

I couldn’t resist the 3-D Eiffel Tower puzzles, which come in three sizes and various colorful, decorative patterns. They are flat when you purchase them, so very easy to pack and take up no room in your luggage. Great gift ideas!

Eiffel Tower Souvenirs Paris

Cute Paris souvenirs for yourself or great for gifts!

Easy to assemble, just punch out … no scissors or glue required.

Eiffel Tower 3D Puzzle

Voilà … a cute reminder of your holiday in Paris!

I’m also bringing home this Eiffel Tower cookie cutter, and a colorful cutting board.

Eiffel Tower shaped cookies … mais oui!!!

Les Parisettes has two locations in Paris. One is in the 7th arrondissement at 26 rue Malar, which is just off rue Saint-Dominique and only a short stroll from many of our Paris Perfect vacation apartments. They have a second location in the 15th arrondissement, at 95 avenue Emile Zola. Les Parisettes also has a website, so you can order online when you need a cute and fun Paris fix!

Skip the Line Eiffel Tower Tour

Wednesday, February 27th, 2013
Eiffel Tower Tour Paris Vacation rental near Eiffel Tour

Waking up to a picture perfect blue sky in Paris!

One day not long ago I woke up to a bright and clear blue sky in Paris. Opening the curtains, I couldn’t contain the happy smile that spread across my face as I looked out at the Eiffel Tower soaring above the Parisian buildings across the street. It was early in the morning, but I could already see the tiny elevators making their way up and down the tower. Very soon I would be on one of them … going all the way to the top of the Eiffel Tower! This was the day I was going on a Skip the Line Eiffel Tower Tour by Easy Pass Tours, and the weather couldn’t have been better for photos.

Eiffel Tower Tour Paris

Ready to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower!

Our friends at Easy Pass Tours have created a lovely tour to experience the Eiffel Tower without wasting any of your special time in Paris waiting in lines. This is especially helpful during the peak tourist season from spring through autumn and during the winter holidays. During most of the year the lines can snake around under the Eiffel Tower and just waiting to visit can be tiresome, especially if you’re traveling with kids. The Skip the Line Eiffel Tower Tour is a great choice!

Skip the Line Tour of the Eiffel Tower

Our charming guide Angelica explaining the history of the Eiffel Tower and the tour

We found our very friendly guide Angelica waiting below the south leg, or the “pilier sud,” of the Eiffel Tower with her brilliant and impossible to miss red scarf. She hopped up on a cement bench so everyone could see and hear, but the group was an intimate size. Easy Pass Tours limits the Skip the Line Eiffel Tower Tours to 20 people max, so the size is always small and friendly. Angelica shared some of the fascinating history of the Eiffel Tower, including fun facts, and explained how the tour would work. And then we were off … first stop … the second level!

Elevator to the first level of the Eiffel Tower

Ready to go up!

Our guide already had the tickets in hand for our group, so we followed her straight to the “Pilier Est” and walked through security and into the elevator. Super easy and fast!

Skip the Line Tour Eiffel Tower Paris

No lines to enter … the joy of the Skip the Line Eiffel Tower Tour!

When we arrived on the second level of the Eiffel Tower, our guide shared more about the history of the tower and walked us all the way around to point out the main sights in each direction. We had a lot of fun looking down on the streets of the 7th arrondissement that now feel like home and picking out the landmarks. Below you can spot the reddish building along the Seine – that’s the Musée du Quai Branly, which has excellent collection of arts from Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. What sights can you spot?

View of Paris from the Eiffel Tower

Gorgeous views of Paris stretching out from the Eiffel Tower

It was easy to pick out the dome and bell tower of Sacré Coeur sitting atop Montmartre. Do you see it in the photo below? What was most surprising to me was how small it looked. And from the very top of the Eiffel Tower it was very challenging to even find Montmartre as it blended in with the Parisian landscape from so very high!

View of Montmartre from Eiffel Tower

There’s Montmartre!

We had plenty of time to enjoy the views, take ridiculous numbers of photos and poke around in the gift shops before meeting up with our guide again. Angelica took us to where the lines were for the elevator to the top level of the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, you can’t skip this line … which forms because there is more limited space at the very top.

Best views of Paris from Eiffel Tower

Enjoying the views of Paris from the second level of the Eiffel Tower

But there were still great views to enjoy while waiting our turn to take the elevator to the very top. What’s nice about the Skip the Line Eiffel Tower Tour is that it includes access to all three levels of the Eiffel Tower, including the very top. So after bidding farewell to our guide, we were free to spend as much time as we wanted. If you’re not interested in going all the way to the top, you can enjoy the views before taking the elevator down to the ground level. Angelica also gave us some tips for how to avoid lines when coming down the Eiffel Tower, too.

View of Chaillot from Eiffel Tower

Looking down on Chaillot from the Eiffel Tower

What a view looking at the boats making their way up and down the Seine and looking across the river to Chaillot. As we waited to take the elevator to the top, I wondered how many people were over there looking up at the Eiffel Tower at that very moment.

Tour to Top Level of Eiffel Tower

Next stop … the top!

This was my first experience going all the way to the top level of the Eiffel Tower … and I was giddy like a schoolgirl! Part of me expected the view to be about the same as the second level, and that part of me was completely taken by surprise by the experience at the top.  The first thing I noticed as the elevator started up from the second level to the top was that I could already see the green of the Esplanade des Invalides much better than on the second level. The view is dramatically different from the very top!

View of Les Invalides from top of Eiffel Tower

A stunning view of Les Invalides from the top of the Eiffel Tower

Looking down on the Champ de Mars garden far below the Eiffel Tower was another impressive experience.  The views were shocking to me, and it made me wonder just how awe inspiring they must have been for the people that visited the top of the Eiffel Tower in 1889 for the World’s Fair.

Champ de Mars Gardens from Eiffel Tower

Looking all the way down to the Champ de Mars gardens

From the very top we could also see the Tuileries and Louvre Museum very clearly, along with the glass domes of the Grand Palais and Petit Palais and even the shining point on the top of the obelisk in the middle of Place de la Concorde. What a view!

Seine River Eiffel Tower Tour

Looking down the Seine in Paris

Paris seemed huge and very small at the same time. It seemed the Bois de Boulogne was just beyond Chaillot and the skyscrapers in the modern Defense just a little bit beyond. From the second level the Bois de Boulogne gardens were just a sliver, but from the top you can see just how expansive they are.

Eiffel Tower Skip the Line Tour Paris

Looking all the way to the Bois de Boulogne and La Defense

One of the most magical views was looking down on the shadow of the Eiffel Tower from the very top. It made me wonder how many houses and offices had the shadow of the Eiffel Tower pass over each sunny day.

Eiffel Tower Shadow

From the very top of the Eiffel Tower … seeing its shadow!

Back on the ground I took a good long look up at the Eiffel Tower. After you’ve gone all the way to the top, you just can’t look at it the same way again. I was in the middle of reading Eiffel’s Tower: The Thrilling Story Behind Paris’s Beloved Monument and the Extraordinary World’s Fair that Introduced It by Jill Jonnes, and being up there and seeing the monument close up was an unforgettable experience.

Eiffel Tower Tour in Paris

The Eiffel Tower will never feel the same!

If you’d like to visit the Eiffel Tower on your next trip to Paris, we highly recommend taking the Skip the Line Eiffel Tower Tour from Easy Pass Tours. You can book your tickets in advance here. If you’d still like to skip the line but not join a small group tour, Easy Pass Tours has just announced their new Entrance Only Skip the Line Tickets. This gives you the chance avoid long waits and enjoy access to all three levels of the Eiffel Tower. You’ll enjoy a brief orientation on the ground and an info sheet to help enhance your visit to the Eiffel Tower. However you decide to go, don’t waste your precious time in Paris standing in a long line!
