Picnic by the Iron Lady

Position: [ 48°49N, 2°19E ]

It took some time this year but, in the final days of July, summer has finally arrived in Paris! Yes! Time for picnics at the park!

Eiffel Tower in sparkling blue

(You may already know that parisians love their terrasses, but they also love their parks. Especially in summer.)

And what better way of picnicking in Paris than by the Eiffel Tower!

So yesterday evening, we gathered with some friends in the middle of the Champ de Mars. And so went our picnic as we enjoyed the good food, the nice weather and the hourly sparkle from the Iron Lady.

These days, the Eiffel Tower is lit in blue to celebrate the French leadership of the European Union.
