The monuments of Paris are even more spectacular at night. Last weekend some of us went out to Montmartre, bought a bottle of wine, and sat on the hillside looking out over the city. It was pretty perfect.
The Louvre is open late and free for all (though it is always free for me!) on Friday, so Natalia and a couple of people we know from the foyer went over that way. The building is lit up spectacularly, and it looks even more grand:
The pyramid is equally beautiful, lit up from the bottom.
We arrived a little late, so we couldn't see all that much, but we saw some French sculptures and then found Napoleon's appartments, which are absolutely spectacular. The picture does not do it justice, but here you go:
Then we hopped on the metro and went to the Eiffel Tower. It was my first time there ever! It's less crowded at night (so I am told, and it seemed to be so.) I couldn't believe how big it is, because it does not seem nearly so large from a distance. 
After this we hung out on the Champ de Mars for a little bit, just being Parisian.
