Finally took the tribe to the Eiffel Tower- on a glorious spring afternoon, skies clear and a spectacular view. Its so impressive, whether we were chasing pigeons underneath or gazing across Paris from the Summit.( I was grateful for the protective wiring, given the attempts made by the 5 yr old to "see" our house ..)

Successful Parisien experience achieved.

Though Im still wondering if the kids has as much fun eating soft serve ice cream and playing hopscotch in the park?
