Usually, people who are on a holiday break don't want to wake up early in the morning. But you will miss a once-in-a-lifetime experience if you sleep in every day during your trip to Paris. Seeing the Eiffel Tower at 6:00 AM is miraculous. No tourists, no people who are trying to sell small replicas of the Eiffel Tower, no noise. A few cleaners will be sweeping the tiles that surround the Palais de Chaillot. You could see an engaged couple posing for a photographer, so they can send wedding invitations with a romantic photo of them with the Eiffel Tower on the background. Around 6:30 AM some people will be running through the Jardins du Trocadéro, the park between the Eiffel Tower and the plaza. They are in a hurry, because they can't be late for work.
Paris is beautiful in the early morning. Unlike New York, this city sleeps every night. The serenity of the city during dawn is something you will never forget. Be the first to buy a baguette or chocolate croissant at an artisan bakery at 7:00 AM and watch the city come alive.
