You cannot complete a trip to Paris without going to see the Eiffel Tower. No matter how many times I visit, I am still in awe of how grand it is. I think my favorite part about it is to enjoy a nice picnic on the lawn in front during the day and of course, see it glitter at night. It was amazing to see the leaves in their fall colors surrounding the tower and park around it. It made for the perfect backdrop. 

I highly recommend getting to see the Eiffel tower both day and night as they are totally different experiences. To go during the day, I love to go to a local store near where I am staying to grab lunch supplies, because I haven't found a good spot near the Eiffel tower yet. I normally stick to cheese, meats, and a baguette or any already prepared lunch foods at the store. Oh and you can't forget the wine! During our trip in mid November, the lawn directly in front of the tower was blocked off to help regrow the grass properly. But there was plenty of space on the side to enjoy the view and eat our picnic. 

THINGS TO KNOW:
- Don't forget to grab your carry fold up bag for the lunch items, cups for the wine, and a wine bottle opener if you buy corked wine!! You don't know how many people came up to us asking to borrow our wine opener ha. 
- And if you have room, bring a towel or small blanket to sit on

So after you have basked in the sunlight gazing up at the Eiffel tower while sipping your wine, I highly recommend scheduling a time during your trip to come back at sunset. I suggest getting there at sunset because it is incredibly beautiful to watch the sun set with the tower. And then right after sun down, the glitter light show will happen.
