Eiffel tower. C'est magnifique! The view is truly spectacular

Back in 2010 I had a magnificent family holiday in Europe. It was amazing. We spent a week in Dublin, then two weeks in an apartment in Paris. Happily, while in Paris I had my birthday celebration at Le Jules Verne, the iconic restaurant on the second level of the Eiffel Tower. But I've shown you that before.


It was such a wonderful meal in a wonderful setting that I planned to return this year to celebrate my Big Deal Birthday in the same way. So I did. This time though there were a few more hangers on. Ten intrepid Australians made the journey to Paris and came together for an amazing lunchtime celebration. And it was wonderful all over again.

The Eiffel Tower was unexpectedly closed this day, for a strike. Tourists were disappointed of course, and being turned away. Happily the private entrance to Le Jules Verne was open. And soon we were being whisked up to the second level of the Tour Eiffel in their private lift.

    Please keep in mind, this is a dummy article that I am having some fun with. There is no point here, so let's not take it too seriously ;)

    Now, discuss!

      Say what? Lora, a well-balanced contemporary serif with roots in calligraphy can. The overall typographic voice of Lora perfectly conveys the mood of a modern-day story, or an art essay.
