Building of my new apartment

I left my great little apartment in the 1st Arrondissement and moved to a new (and my last) apartment in the 7th Arrondissement today. I really liked the area where I was living before so it will be interesting to see what it is like around here. Much to my surprise (and excitement) my new apartment is right by the Eiffel Tower. I mean it is right out my door! You can’t live any closer to the Eiffel Tower than where I am at right now. In fact, I have skylights and you can see the top third of the tower from the bed.  Aaahhhh….to fall asleep with that view. = ) I truly feel like I need to pinch myself to make sure this is real. Those of you that know me well, know my affection for the Eiffel Tower. Needless to say, this is pure bliss for moi! I am so very grateful everyday that I have been able to make this dream a reality.

It is quite beautiful at night!

I decided to walk to the Louvre tonight so I could take some pictures of it at night. It is only about a 10 minute walk from where my apartment is located. I will be moving to my final apartment here in Paris on Saturday. It is kind of bittersweet because I am excited to move to another area of the city, but I have truly enjoyed the area that I am in right now. It is a terrific location! However, my new apartment has the Eiffel Tower right out my door. I guess I can’t go wrong with that view. So that means I will be spending every evening hanging out under the Eiffel Tower starting Saturday night! = ) Ok, enough rambling…back to the pictures.
