Day or night the Eiffel Tower is a beautiful structure to be seen. I took a French class all through middle school and high school. Along with learning the language, we also learned about the culture and the famous tourist attractions all around the country, but I was always most interested in Paris. The tower represents Paris to me with its elegance. My dream would be to get to go to the top of it and indulge in their top-rate dining.
The Love Lock Bridges in Paris are an unusual sight to see. This is what goes down; a couple buys a padlock, put their initials on it, lock it on to the bridge as seen in the picture above, and then toss the key to your lock into the Seine river symbolizing your undying love for each other. There are two different bridges that mean two different things, Pont des Arts would be for your committed love and Pont des l'Archeveche would be for your lover. I know it may sound cheesy to some of you, but I am a hopeless romantic and would be so excited to do this one day when I visit Paris also known as the "romance capital". Although authorities now clean the locks off the bridges around every six months because they are nervous about an accident happening due to how much weight all the padlocks put on the bridge.
