Paris isn't called the City of Light for nothing. We had a great time exploring the city in the evenings, looking at the decorations and just taking in all the lit monuments. The blue Eiffel Tour is in recognition of France holding the 6 month presidency of the EU. Their term will end on December 31 and I just read that the Czech Republic will take over, we are headed to Prague in January, hopefully they will have done something slightly outrageous to celebrate. However, I doubt it can top the Paris style. I was excited to see it thinking it might be pretty cool, but seeing it live topped my expectations. The lights on the trees along the Champs Elysees were amazing, almost 2 miles of blue led lights. I fell in love with these cool lights and when we went searching for lights for our tree in Zurich we searched for them, to no avail. I have to give all credit for the photos to MW, not only does she have a much better camera than mine but she has a great eye for what to take. Enjoy.
