See Paris in the splendor of nightfall

My first time in Paris. There was so much to do.
I booked the night time river cruise to see the city in night mode.
It was beautiful.

It was one of the best meals of my life. I got to experience a whole slew of new foods. Some weren't for me, like Foie Gras, but the beef wellington was the best meal I have ever had! I loved every second of this experience. My waiter was awesome!

Food was good to excellent; service was ok at best - it seemed our server was inexperienced. Boat was excellent, except lights outside the windows significantly diminished visibility due to reflection.
