Paris, the city of lights. While this nickname originally appeared because of Paris’ early adoption of electricity, it’s still just as appropriate today as the city sparkles after dark. The iconic structure of Paris, The Eiffel Tower, even has a special light show each evening. One of the most amazing views of this twinkling city is from the Belle Etoile Penthouse, the crowning glory of Le Meurice in the 1st Arrondissement on the Right Bank. The penthouse’s expansive terrace provides an uninterrupted view of Paris from all directions.

All in all, this is a place to feel inspired and delighted by the enchanting city of lights, maybe even a place to kick off your shoes and dance among the stars.
