To visit Paris from the United Kingdom for the first time after my schooling, was very exiting experience. I travelled to Paris by crossing the channel by ferries and at Calais boarded a cab and headed to Paris. The drive for major part of drive was by car and the driver took A1 motor ways and headed for Paris. When we reached Paris my passion for reaching heights and to look for reaching such locations was my childhood dreams came true, particularly Eiffel Tower at nights with spectacular lights. This is one city, which can be enjoyed if seen well above your eye sight, and if you look high the city looks fabulous and city looks marvel. As I passed through the streets of the Paris, I collected some informal about certain high towers in the city per-view. I understood them to be Montparnasse towers, Effiel towers.
To begin with Monparnasse towers, this lies in a small village and this place was guarded by villagers for not letting the tower erected for a long time. They were scared for this structure would ruin their cultural identity. A similar public uproar was listed for Louvre pyramid and Beaubourg Museum of Modern Art. Even, after decades of controversies this antique was raised to a height of 210 metres approximately. In fact, this project began in 1958 and completed in the year 1972.This huge structure is raised to Montparnasse railway station and composite of 59 floors and from the top anyone can be air lifted by helicopters. To move up and down at Montpranasse I could find many elevators and the 25 elevator carried us to the top in less than 40 seconds. At the 56th floor Enjoyed and relaxed for drink and the floor was sealed with passage of heavy winds through across the floor. At Eiffel tower the para-sonic view was so an eye catchy that I could circle around the entire tower and those were the moments of great splendour. It is a monumental piece built by sir Alexandre Gustave Eiffel and built with iron at least 118 years ago and gains a height of 324 meters height and iron cast for the structure was 10,000 metric tonnes approximately .This tower lies around the Seine river, and you can reach first floor at a height of 57meters and get to second floor at 116 meters. The first and the second floors entertain two famous restaurants’ Altitude 95 and Le Jules Verne and are fine places to dine.
The collapse of world trade towers which I wanted to visit has become a dream never to happen, anyhow I dream for towers around world and hope for many, which appear to be ruling skies. With these cherished memories I travelled back to England by a ferry.
