A Perfect Paris Picnic...with the Eiffel Tower

PictureA view with the Eiffel Tower is the perfect picnic spot in Paris.
Irene On The Scene guest blogger Victoria Cyr on her Eiffel Tower love affair.

There are landmarks in the world both natural and human made that inspire us with awe and a comforting sense of familiarity at the same time, that give us goosebumps every time we’re lucky enough to look at something so breathtakingly beautiful…and the Eiffel Tower or Le Tour Eiffel, is one of them.


And it is also one of my favorite places for a picnic in Paris. Day, or night when she (or he…”it” seems too impersonal) sparkles on the hour with 1.am. being the last show.

Of course picnics are always fun, but especially with such delicious delights so readily available everywhere you look. Fresh produce, almost every cheese you could ever dream of, extraordinary bottles of wine, the ever-famous French baguettes and bread, and don’t forget (well it’s impossible anyway) the delectable desserts and pastries that might make you think you’re dreaming….(unless you eat too many and hop on a scale which I don’t recommend doing while you’re in Paris…)

After all, it is dreams that Paris is made of…and every day that I am here, I’m compelled to look at the awesome beauty, write a poem or two, watch her shimmy in the light as I smile all the way home, and fall asleep dreaming of the Eiffel Tower and the next time I see her…

PS…..if you’re too busy to pick up your own picnic goodies, check out these ideas from Paris Picnic.
