Well, they definitely call Paris the “City of Lights” for a reason, especially in the Winter. I can’t imagine what the energy bill looks like!

(One of my favorite parts of Paris were the window displays. Twinkle lights make everything a little more beautiful!)

(A statue outside of the Paris Opera)

(The city is alive even late at night and lights cover the street tops)

(Champs-Elysees illuminates the way to the glorious Arc de Triomphe)

(While I didn’t get a chance to ride it, I imagine there was no better view of the city than on this glowing Ferris Wheel)

(Flashy flash! Moulin Rouge was awesome and you could see it from blocks away! Ooh la la!)

(Bordeaux was gearing up for the Arlette Gruss circus. Look at the glowing trees in the background!)

(Lastly, Bordeaux has little bulbs of light everywhere you can imagine. It is beautiful)

I feel so lucky to have experienced France in the Winter, while it is the down time I can’t imagine it gets any better!
