We traveled to Paris on the high-speed TGV from Barcelona and best of all, there were dogs on the train.
After checking in to our hotel, we walked around for a while, bought some fancy chocolate and had a glass of wine before dinner.
Dinner was the quintessential cherry-on-top of a great culinary birthday journey.
We were able to get last minute reservations on a front window table in the restaurant in the Eiffel Tower.
Neither one of us has ever been up the tower before, and to go up and then have an amazing dinner at the best table in the restaurant was very special. The view was spectacular.
After dinner we walked up to the Trocadero to see the hourly flickering of the tower.
It was a late and fantastic night.
High speed train through the French countryside.







Up we go!




The last time we were in Paris this was covered in volleyball fields. (See the 2024 Some Summer Games journal)

Best view of the tower with perfect timing.
