Most people take photos of the Eiffel Tower from the river side, from the mall side, or from directly underneath. My sister and I heard ducks quacking from an area of shrubs, trees, and a pond so we investigated. It was nice seeing the tower from a different angle. Fortunately (and I mean fortunately), we missed the last tourist bus and had to walk three hours (8 – 11 P.M.) along the Seine to our hotel. Paris is beautiful at night and we never once felt threatened. I have been to Paris twice and I still need to go back.
