The tour des "illuminations"

So we wanted to see the city of lights, well, with lights. Alas, spring is not the time for such things. It only starts to get dark here around 10pm these days so no building or street lights go on until that point. Needless to say the tour was a bit of a bust! 

Though my visitors did get the chance to take a boat ride down the Seine which is always a first timer must do. Guess they'll just have to come back in the winter to see the lights!

Here are some of the sites from the water:
