Night Paris is a completely different city!

A lot of tourists come to Paris every day. Someone just a day, so he sees the city only from the bus window, and some lucky people manage to spend a week or even a month in it. The capital of France during the day is romantic, beautiful, mysterious, but it is no less beautiful after sunset. Night Paris is a special atmosphere.

And it's not just restaurants and entertainment establishments opening by night, but also in burning lights and no less gorgeous views - the dream of romantics and lovers to make pedestrian walks. It's not for nothing that an increasing number of travel agencies, in addition to the standard sightseeing tour around the city, offer a similar route even in the dark.

Night Paris is another city

A huge pleasure and a lot of impressions will take a walk in the center of the French capital. Champs Elysees, sung by Joe Dassin, Seine with river cruising along her river trams and, of course, Her Majesty the Eiffel Tower.

A lot of things were said about this great structure: from enthusiastic to angry. One of the representatives of the French bohemia (a contemporary of Eiffel) said that this masterpiece spoils the appearance of the city, and worse - from it you can not hide anywhere. The surprise of the reporters was unlimited, when they met him at a restaurant that opened on the observation deck of the tower, and was even more stunned by his answer: "This is the only place in the city where I can not see this monster."

Many years have passed since then, and Paris no longer appears without the television tower designed by Eiffel. At night it looks even more majestic, not as strict as during the day, but rather festive. From the observation deck offers an amazing view of the city.

It is also an excellent opportunity to see Paris at night as if on the palm of your hand - the hill of Montmartre, which can be reached by a funicular or by foot on the stairs. On it is Sacre-Coeur - a magnificent basilica built in Byzantine style.

Since we are talking about the temples, then, walking around the city in the evening, it is superfluous to walk along the embankment of the Seine to the Cathedral of the Notre Dame - another symbol of the city, in which Gothic and Romanesque styles coexisted. The gargoyles and chimeras guarding his chambers, with the onset of darkness, look even more impressive. The cathedral is open for daily visits: until six in the evening on weekdays and up to a quarter past seven at the weekend, so its viewing platform can be another place where you can make a great photo of Paris at night. On Tuesdays and Saturdays, a laser show called "Rejoice, Maria" is held here.

Crossing the bridge to the other side of the Seine, it is easy to get to the Louvre, and from there to the Rue de Rivoli. You can talk endlessly about where to go for a walk in the evening, but, in addition to beautiful views, there are still many interesting things in the city.

Night Paris - the legendary show

Of course, we must not forget about the two legendary institutions, without which Paris would be quite different.

The classic Moulin Rouge cabaret was opened in the red light district in 1889. At different times on his stage the performances were completely different in character: the show, the performances of the French chanson stars and striptease, which was first performed in this institution. Visitors to the cabaret at various times were Oscar Wilde, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Prince of Wales. Today's Red Mill is a place where you can see the famous French cancan.

No less fame was given to the cabaret Lido, which began its work in 1928 and was named after the Italian beach, the images of which were used as decorations. The institution was a mix of balneary, pool and casino. In 1946 the cabaret was bought by the Clerico brothers. It was then that they began to show the show. The revolutionary idea to combine the show with the dinner was born in the walls of Lido, and later it was picked up by other entrepreneurs. The formula is being successfully implemented today: first, visitors are expected to master culinary masterpieces from the master of French cuisine, and only after the dinner ends the performance begins.

You can not bypass everything in one evening, and the traveler will not leave the desire to see Paris at night again, the photo of which will only strengthen it.
