What surprised me

The Eiffel Tower is not only gorgeous and enormous in person, but it's also quite magical. What surprised us was this...as evening approaches, people spread out on blankets across the surrounding lawns. Kids are playing and laughing, families are relaxing, and everyone is simply waiting for the twinkling to begin. A moment worth waiting for! ✨️
