Paris knows how to celebrate. Tonight I took a leisurely (read 'slowed to a crawl by heavy traffic!') bus ride to the Place de la Concorde, to see the Grande Roue (ferris wheel) and other illuminated objects.
I was just in time for the hourly light show from the Tour Eiffel (no pictures here, because my little camera wouldn't do it justice - see "Midnight in Paris" for a sense of the display.)
Tonight it was mild, clear and dry, and a full moon floated over the merrymaking. The Champs Élysées is lined with lights that suggest UFOs. They start blue then morph to pink and white, often as you are trying to line up a picture.
A Christmas market adds to the gaiety. Tonight most people seemed to be interested in drinks and snacks, or just out to enjoy the evening.

Oooh, seeing all of these pictures make me giddy to come. I'm listening to french vocabulary as we speak!
