City of Lights

Paris is many things, rather famously she is the City of Light. And her lights are beautiful. Not just the beacon of light that shines from the Eiffel Tower, or the lights that light her stunning bridges. Her ceiling lights can sneak up and delight you at any time.

  5. I have seen some great ceiling lights on my travels but not as many in one place like you have. I will have to pay more attention in future as I could be missing out.
