Paris once more

So I had to go back to Paris this week and on thursday I was finally lucky because the weather was cooperating (not that I had seen any daylight all day since the meeting room didn’t have any windows) so I left the office early (meaning 6 PM) and together with one of my colleagues from Dublin took the metro over to the Montparnasse Tower. Going there had been on my bucket list for a while but something or the other always made me not go. The only regret I have is that I didn’t stop at my hotel to get my tripod but I didn’t know if I would be allowed to take it up on the tower. E.g. in New York you can’t take tripods on the Empire State Building or the Rockefeller Center. Next time I will bring it though!

If you go up the Montparnasse Tower the elevator brings you to the 56th floor where you have a bar and a souvenir shop and a view all around too. But you can walk up three floors to the roof and from there you can see even better (and take pics without any glass in front). We went up to the 59th floor twice and really enjoyed the time we spent up there. Thanks, Kate, for going with me!
