A Winter MUST DO before it disappears – Ice Skating for Free on the Eiffel Tower

Ice skating at the Eiffel Tower 1st stage

Until 31st January on the 1st floor of the Eiffel Tower, 57 metres up, included in the price of your entrance ticket, you can go ice skating for FREE, all day long if you want, on the 190m² ice rink!

There is a bar and a huge range of skates for children and adults as well as sleighs for the really young and disabled. It appears most people don’t believe it because there really are not very many people skating.

Drink a mulled wine and then try and walk across the parts of the floor they have taken up and newly replaced with glass – my stomach does a turn just thinking about it!

Come and stay at 52 Clichy and I will tell you all about the other fun things to do over the Christmas period. BOOK HERE…

Don’t miss some of the most amazing exhibitions in Paris.

 

At the Musée d’Orsay ‘Splendour and Misery.’  Pictures of Prostitution, 1850-1910 will close on 17th January – if you are over 18 you will be allowed behind the red velvet curtain !   http://bit.ly/1moVbAf

 

The Elisabeth Louise Vigée le Brun exhibition at the Grand Palais will disappear on 11th January but you have a little more time to catch Picasso.mania – until 29th February.    http://www.grandpalais.fr/en

 

Also the Jacquemart André Museum has a more manageable but delightful exhibition until the 25th January of Florence : Portraits at the Court of the Medicis.  http://bit.ly/1Oy7eBg      Here you can also have a decent cup of tea afterwards!

Evening sun following a storm

Following the storm

The light can be beautiful in the afternoons, the apartment faces East / West so the sun rises on the balcony and in the evening as it is falling it lights up the stonework reflecting the sunlight back on to the balcony.  In the evening sun following a storm, when the sky is dark and the lead roofs are shiny grey, the contrast is strongest.
