Paris is famous for everything it represents in terms of French history, gastronomy, culture and architecture. While Paris is certainly mesmerizing during daytime, it is just as stellar at night. Paris shines when the sun goes down and this is when the City of Lights truly lives up to its famous nickname.<\/p>\n
Why not logically open up your night with a sunset? For one of the best views of the city, head up to Galeries Lafayette\u2019s rooftop where you will treat yourself to a unique meal by discovering the latest edition of edgy restaurant Creatures<\/a> while enjoying the stunning 360\u00b0 views of the Paris skyline. From the Eiffel Tower all the way to Opera Garnier, these stately monuments, Paris\u2019 signatures, lie at your feet.<\/p>\n At Creatures, young up-and-coming chef Julien Sebbag serves a refined vegetarian menu, a tribute to Mediterranean cuisine that will delight your taste buds. Products and aromatic herbs could hardly be more locally sourced as they are grown on the roof of the store. The open kitchen is there for you to watch as these eco-products turn into savory dishes. For those who do not wish to dine, why not sip a plant-based cocktail while admiring the beautiful sunset over Paris\u2019 monuments<\/a> and getting more of the summer spirit.<\/p>\n There are a lot of things to do in Paris at night, at least as much as during the daytime. Although one could think that one night in Paris should be devoted to a wild night out, it can in fact be devoted to sightseeing.<\/p>\n The Iron Lady has been overlooking the city since 1889 and while some like to measure its grandeur and watch it sparkle from afar, others won\u2019t have it any other way than to be at the top of the tower. Whether you\u2019re seeking to get the best point of view for the sunset or to admire how the city slowly lights up, the Eiffel Tower definitely remains the epicenter of the capital and from the second level of the tower, you\u2019ll see Paris in all its splendor.<\/p>\n Strolling along the Seine provides the perfect opportunity to explore beautiful and historic Paris. The Seine runs the length of the city and continues on to Normandy. Only within the limits of the city, 35 bridges span the river each one with its own story. All of them are brought to life as they light up and set the milestones of the river walk. The sheer diversity of Parisian bridges is fascinating and one can watch as Paris\u2019 history unfolds before the eyes from Ile de la Cit\u00e9, Notre Dame, the Conciergerie, the Louvre, Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay all the way to the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n
