The Eiffel Tower Lit Up in Blue White and Red

Following the deadly attacks in Paris last Friday The Eiffel Tower had been closed during the weekend and its lights had been switched off. The iconic monument of Paris reopened to visitors on Monday afternoon and is lit up in Blue White and Red for three days, until tonight. The Eiffel Tower does not only wear the French national colours but also the motto of the City of Paris: ‘Fluctuat nec Mergitur’.

I went on the Esplanade du Trocadéro last night to admire the Iron Lady in Blue White and Red: so beautiful, so majestic, so… hard to put into words! The Esplanade was not crowded at all and everybody could take one’s time contemplating or taking pictures. If you are in Paris tonight I highly recommend you to go for a ride to the Trocadéro: the view on the Eiffel Tower is really worth seeing!

Beaugrenelle Paris: The Place for Chic and Casual Shopping

Beaugrenelle Paris is the newest Shopping Mall in Paris. It opened two years ago in 15th arrondissement of Paris in an area lying along the Seine River and called ‘Le Front de Seine’ which is located about 15 minutes walk southwards from the Eiffel Tower. Since its opening this new Shopping destination has got several awards including the one for ‘the Best European Shopping Centre 2015’.

I went there for the first time this week and I have really been charmed by the brightness and user-friendliness of the place as well as by the casual chic positioning of its stores. It is the first time that a Shopping Mall with such an architecture and design has opened in Paris and I think that it is really worth the visit.
