Bastille Day Bonanza

The Bastille Day in France is not just a day; it's an extravaganza that pulls tens of thousands to the Eiffel Tower, turning Paris into a bustling hub of celebration. Picture this: streets bursting with excitement, roads closed, all leading to the grand dame, the Eiffel Tower. I had scouted the perfect spot the day before, only to find it off-limits on the big day. Talk about a plot twist!



But here's the kicker – my hotel was right in the heart of the restricted area. So, imagine me, zigzagging through the merry chaos, spending three whole hours to retrieve my camera. It felt like a mini-adventure in the heart of Paris!



Despite these playful hurdles, I managed to snag a fantastic vantage point. The reward? Capturing the Eiffel Tower draped in a symphony of fireworks – from its towering top to its sturdy base. What a sight! It was a night buzzing with music that made your feet tap, dance that made your heart leap, and a crowd so lively, it was contagious.



And the fireworks, oh, the fireworks! They were like nature's own spectacular light show, painting the night sky with bursts of colors, each one telling its own little story. It was more than just a celebration; it was a night where every spark in the sky felt like a tribute to the spirit of joy and freedom.



In the end, what a night it was! Filled with laughter, dance, music, and a dazzling display that lit up not just the sky, but also the hearts of everyone present. Bastille Day by the Eiffel Tower – a memory etched in lights and smiles.
