Isn’t this view mesmerizing?. Paris, France
As twilight fades, the city of Paris lights up. Streets and buildings as well as grand monuments such as the Eiffel Tower are bathed in light. During his reign, King Louis XIV asked for streetlights to be erected throughout the city so that the police could catch lawbreakers easily, ensuring no dark alleys where they could hide. The locals were also asked to put up lanterns, oil lamps, and lit candles on their windows. Today, the City of Light is a dream destination for travelers who seek out museums, cuisine, and a romantic setting.
