From the Moulin Rouge we had a steep climb up to the beautiful Sacre Couer and were rewarded by some amazing views across Paris.




Next stop was the Eiffel Tower as I thought it would be pretty cool to do this on my hen do – and it was quite literally cool, to be honest it was freezing, and very busy. Sarah didn’t fancy the height and curled up on a park bench and watched us disappear into the tower. Queue is all we did on this weekend, and the Eiffel Tower was no exception. We queued about an hour to get into the tower, about an hour to get up to the top and another hour to get back down – aarrghh!
However, the views were amazing, we got some great photographs and it was such a good feeling to be stood at the top of the tower. At one stage we feared we may not get down before dark so we were all relieved when we finally got down and stepped onto solid ground. Sarah had been thrown 37 Euros in spare change whilst waiting on her bench.
