I went to the Eiffel Tower once before, at the end of a French exchange program. It was too windy, so we weren’t able to go to the top. I’ve always wanted to go back to see the view from the very top. Today we made it. Glad I got to see it, because you can see for miles. On the second floor, you can look straight out to the skyscrapers of La Défense. From the third floor, you can see over them. From the second floor, you can see lots of buildings. From the third floor, you can really look down into the patterns of the streets. In theory, the horizon is about 60 kilometers away. It’s a different experience and complements the visit to the second floor well. That said, overall the view from the second floor is better.

Today the Eiffel Tower looked out and saw its shadow, meaning that there will be six more weeks of summer.
