Paris' famous moniker as the City of Lights is exemplified by none other than it's most enduring landmark. Starting at dusk, thousands of strobe lights sparkle on the Eiffel Tower at the top of each hour.
In France, art is more than just what hangs on gallery walls. It's a way of life.

Place Blanche is one of my favourite places in Paris. Perhaps because I stayed most of my three-plus weeks there (in the building almost to the far right in the photo); perhaps because it always seemed to be so active.
Underneath the Eiffel Tower at night is spectacular...! Everything is nicely illuminated and the view through the central opening amazing!
