Top Hotel And Places In The World

1. Le Chat Noir

At the bottom of the Butte Montmartre and a stone's throw from the infamous Moulin Rouge cabaret, Le Chat Noir is everything a boutique hotel in Paris should be. With its numerous nearby theatres, nightclubs and cabarets and a premises that references its bohemian surroundings, it's a top choice for the young and trendy.

2. One by the Five

One by the Five is perhaps the most exclusive boutique hotel in Paris - as it consists of just one suite. As such, it's tailor-made for a romantic Paris getaway, for a design-loving couple. What's more, with a location slap-bang in the heart of the Latin Quarter, it's ideally located for some of the city's hippest nightlife, shopping and sightseeing.

3. Hotel du Petit Moulin

There's only one thing you need to know about Hotel du Petit Moulin: it was designed by Christian Lacroix. Even forewarned with that information, its exuberantly extravagant interior still has the capacity to drop jaws. From the dizzying vibrancy of the reception, to the once-in-a-lifetime rooms, every last, tiny detail has been agonized over in what is, undeniably, a flamboyantly rendered vision.

4. Hotel Particulier Montmartre

There's only problem with Hotel Particulier: tucked away down a tiny alleyway in Montmartre, it can be just a little tricky to find. Once that's out of the way, it's the plainest of plain sailing from there on in: five beautifully appointed rooms, an unruly garden and razor-sharp design elements throughout come together in a sleek, contemporary urban package.

5. L'Hotel

Any hotel that saw Oscar Wilde breathe his last his breath in its lobby (not to mention counting Jim Morrison, Mick Jagger and Johnny Depp on the guest list) is likely to have more than a touch of decadence about it... And so it is with L'Hotel. Fabulous suites and lashings of opulent decor don't come at the expense of comfort and wonderfully attentive, however.

The Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel) is the top attraction of Paris in France. More than 6 million people visit this famous attraction every year. It has become a symbol of Paris. Eiffel Tower pictures are found in postcards, travel guides, travel brochures, etc of Paris. Its popularity can be compared to renowned icons such as the Pyramids and the Statue of Liberty.

Here is some information about the Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel). It was built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, a World's Fair marking the centennial celebration of the French Revolution. This striking structure was designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel and named after him. The total height of the tower is about 321 metres. It took two years to build and was the world's tallest building until 1930, when the Chrysler Building in New York was constructed. This tall structure is held together with 2.5 million rivets and the estimated total weight of the structure is about 10,100 tonnes. The strong tower has not swayed more than 7.5 cm even in conditions of very strong winds. During hot days, the iron structure can expand to as much as 15cm. The tower is painted every seven years and approximately 40 tonnes of paint is used each time.

At the top of the Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel), there is a weather station and navigation point, as well as an observation platform. The space at the platform can accommodate about 800 people at a time. The first and second levels are accessible by stairways and lifts, while the third level summit is only accessible by lift. The first level is 57m high and there is a small museum, Cineiffel, which shows an audio-presentation of the tower's history. The second level is 115m high and can be reached by walking up the stairs from the first level. The total number of steps to walk from the ground level to the observation platform at the top is 710 steps. There are three large lifts that operate between the ground and second level and four small lifts between the second and top level. An Eiffel Bust, created by Antoine Bourdelle, is placed beneath the tower.

Two Eiffel Tower restaurants are located here. They are the Altitude 95 on the first level and Jules Verne on the second level. Jules Verne Restaurant serves superb food and is considered as one of the best restaurants of Paris. Visitors have the privilege of enjoying spectacular views while taking their meals.

During clear days, visitors can see the distant sights as far as 72 km!

At night, the Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel) is lighted up by thousands of flashbulbs, making the monument dazzling with lights and shining like diamond-studded jewellery. The flashbulbs start firing every hour, each time for about five minutes. It will be wonderful to take striking Eiffel Tower pictures while it is lighted up.
