More Paris...
The Paris Opera House
Yes, believe it or not, this is the Opera House where the famous play, Phantom of the Opera (a Hatch family favorite) takes place. Inside the theatre everything was so gaudy. This grand hall made me want a ball gown and glass slippers...or a mask....
MASQUERADE! Paper faces on parade...
MASQUERADE! Hide your face so the world can never find you.... lallalalalalal!
Where are my glass slippers...
Where is my prince charming...
I think I am getting my stories mixed up
Okay, so this was George V, the "posh" ritzy area just down the street from the Arc di Triumph. We weren't dressed properly to go in any of the shops, I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman... but I don't think a new do and my good looks would do it, I need a sugar daddy with plastic.
Fashion statement of the year...
-get some new clothes nichole-
PLAZA HOVEL on GEORGE SENC
I tracked this hotel down all afternoon. Yes it's the Plaza Hotel where my favorite chick flick "French Kiss" was filmed. After stopping at 3 hotels, we finally made it only to be turned away by a rude French bellman! Oooo the French are not on my good side. But I did peer through the spinning glass door and saw the glass elevator, the bell desk and the red couches. I guess that will have to do until I'm rich enough to stay there some day. I swear,, how many bellmen does a person need to get from their car to the front loby- less than 40 ft away! There was atleast 5!!
Rich people...
It was a very lovely hotel and this area was just beautiful. It rained on us all the way from the Arc di Triumph to here and it was actually quite refreshing. However, it doesn't smell good when it rains...in fact Paris never smelt good. It reeked of BO and mold. Just look, don't smell.
The Eiffel Tower by night. I highly recommend going straight to the top at night, no better way to see Paris and get a thrill out of it too! See Paris by day at the Arc di Triumph, then hit this by night - no lines, no wait, less people, and oh what a ride! I got a few butterflies on the way up. The view from the top is incredible!
Statistics for you brainy readers:
The Eiffel tower stands 75 stories high (1000 ft.) and weighs around 10,000 tons! It was named after its designer and engineer Gustave Eiffel. It was built between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance arch for the Worlds Fair marking the centennial celebration of the French Revolution. And only one man died during the building of it.
