Everyone wants to lounge along the Seine, or have a picnic while gazing on the Eiffel, maybe sip café au lait in a small intersection, all under the warm Parisian sunlight. But some, like me, is even more intrigued by the way Paris looks at night- how it’s never darkness there, and how the streets turned into a sea of lights.

Where should you stroll to in a sun-less Paris?

Obviously, the Eiffel. This 324-metres-tall tower is dazzling alright under the sunlight, but it’ll definitely steal your heart when it light up the dark Paris sky. It lights up everyday after sunset up to 1 am, or 2 am in summer. It will twinkle for 5 minutes, putting on a light show, every hour. But from where should I enjoy this Paris landmark?

Right below Eiffel itself. Take the metro to Bir-Hakeim or the RER to Champ de Mars – Tour Eiffel. From there it’s a 5 minute walk to this iconic symbol of Paris.

But, wait. Don’t stop there.

Cross the Seine through Pont d’Iena to Jardins du Trocadero and take even more pictures there. And also at Palais de Chaillot. If you have seen social media influencers posting those pictures in Instagram where they’re sitting on a stair incline, with Eiffel in the background? They took it here.

Don’t get ready to call it a night, yet. Next on the list is Place de la Concorde. Take the metro from Trocadero to Concorde, and admire the beautiful Ferris Wheel. Tip: on a cold winter night, buy some hot crepes with Nutella oozing inside.

Finally, we’re on to our last stop. Walk 15 minutes to the famous set of Wonder Woman, Monte Carlo and The Da Vinci Code; Louvre. Aside from the pretty setting of Louvre at night, this also means you get to skip the crowds of tourists and feel like having the place to yourself.
