Paris, the heartbeat and capital of France, is a spectacular sight to see, even after dark. One thing to add to your travel bucket list is to see the Eiffel Tower at night. Take the metro to Tracadero and stand out on the balcony. You will be able to see the Tower "sparkle" every hour. This will be a free, spectacular stop on your trip.
