Paris at Night: A Photographic Stroll through the City of Lights

Continuing our ongoing series on Paris, I wanted to share some of our experiences in the City of Lights after dark.

One night, Rebekah and I cruised on the Seine River. But mostly, we explored the city on foot, walking along the lamp-lit streets. Rebekah and I love exploring cities at night, as they are often even more enchanting than by day. Paris at night definitely fits this description. The throngs of tourists have dispersed, and the streets are once again romantic.

Instead of writing a story, I thought I would let the pictures do the talking in this post. I hope you enjoy this sampling of our time in Paris after dark!

    I love these images! I adore Paris and a regret of mine is that I did not go out in the evening and explore the city, but this definitely gives me something to look forward to next time!

      Sanura,

      Thank you very much! I am thrilled you enjoyed the photos.

      In Paris especially, there is so much to see and do, and so little time…You will definitely have to go back again and experience the city after dark!
