 Thank you Shelley for this great card showing The Eiffel Tower in Paris..I was also pleased to visit this Site and I was luckier, for as you mentioned that there were so many visitors that you didn't get to climb it.. The view is certainly a good one.. and was so pleased to do it as it was a monument that I had learned so much  about in my French classes..So glad that you are enjoying your European tour and you are certainly getting to see lots. especially Frances Capital City.

The trains that run into it now are all public / Metro lines there are many shops cafes Restaurants and an old Post Office located here..I really enjoyed my visit to this wonderful building on my recent visit to Cleveland on my "around the USA by Train June -August 2013..I had a wonderful experience here where I was very privilidged to go to the roof of The Tower and get some amazing Photos of the city..Wonderful..  Thank you so much for this card E marie..This has great memories from me from my visit here  Posted Cleveland 17 May 2014:..Received Sydney 30 May 2014 : Traveled 13 days..Thanks again.
