When was the first time you saw the Eiffel Tower?  by beverley365

When was the first time you saw the Eiffel Tower?

For me it was spring 1984… I was given an opportunity which I embraced… a new job.
I was sent to Paris for training…
I loved it even though he was very strict & scary in the early days,
Gosh I was back & forth like a yo-yo… I’m smiling as I write this, I loved my job.

The city has been the backdrop for some fabulous romantic novels, films, and songs, solidifying its reputation as a destination for lovers.

The iconic Eiffel Tower has become a symbol of love and romance around the world and it deserves it…
A lovely shot. I remember my first visit to Paris. I had a summer job in Cologne and on my way home spent a few days in Paris. I spent a few days in a youth hostel and having little money walked everywhere. I absolutely fell in love with Paris.

I'm not sure, but I think I was still at school, in the mid 70's. My best recollection of the Eiffel Tower though was relatively recent, in 2017, when we rented a flat in Paris for 6 months, in the Trocadero area. I loved being in such close proximity to the Eiffel Tower, and seeing it daily. I knew it was only for 6 months and took full advantage of everything Paris had to offer, as we'd previously only ever lived in the suburbs (Croissy-sur-Seine, Chatou, Courbevoie ...). How I loved those 6 months! Lovely Parisien image!

Not far off the same time - probably in uni holidays between 1982 and 1983....
