La Tour Eiffel
Yes, you did figure out this one. I picked it though as numerous subscribers to Paris-Eiffel-Tower-News.com ask me questions about it. I thought this would be a good opportunity to give you a few relevant figures.
Just a few facts: the Eiffel Tower is 324-meter high (including flagpole). Its first floor stands at 57 meters above the Seine, its s
If you are selling something online, these tips will help you explode your sales. If you are not using some of them already, you should consider implementing them on your website. When you design your salespage, you should follow some specific guidelines. You only have a couple of seconds to catch your visitor's attention before he/she surfes away.

Try to be very clear about what your product is, what it can do and what benefits will it bring to your customers. BE HONEST! 2. Don't sell a product you wouldn't buy yourself. How can you expect someone to buy your product, if you think it's not worth buying?
To my friends who take the trip to Paris I always recommend to ‘look up while walking’. Paris should not be visited at eye level only; there is much to be seen upstairs, just like in New York City.
Or try this: grab a map, climb an elevation, and look around, trying to place the monuments you see. Rent a top-floor apartment on the Montmartre hill, and you’ll see a whole new aspect of Paris.
So I picked four easy-to-access vantage points from where to admire the Parisian panorama. Some are self-obvious, others are not as well known. All are yours for the enjoyment.
Granted, some of these spots were obvious picks. But I bet you don’t know a couple of them. Here is the story.
Tour Montparnasse
The Montparnasse Tower offers one of the most remarkable panoramic views of Paris. And not everybody knows that it can be visited. It is therefore my first pick.
The construction of the Montparnasse Tower started in 1958 and was completed in 1972 after a much heated public debate. Just like the Louvre Pyramid, and the Beaubourg Museum of Modern Art, the building of the skyscraper sparked two decades of furious controversy. The Montparnasse area used to be a small, quaint village, and the locals didn’t like the idea of having a 210-meter high structure disfigure their landscape.
The Tower triggered a controversy which continued well after it was completed. Dwellers of the picturesque old Montparnasse area hated to see a tall structure disfigure their area. They fought tooth and nail to kill the project. In vain. Constructions works started in 1958, and were completed in 1972. The Tower was inaugurated in 1973. Just a few months after the event, the City council passed an ordinance forbidding the construction of any building more than 7 floor high in Paris. Go figure.
The Montparnasse Tower counts 59 floors crowned by a terrace which is accessible by helicopter. One of its 25 elevators is the fastest in Europe: it will take you to the top floor in 38 seconds flat. There is a bar on the 56th floor where you can enjoy the view sheltered from the wind.

The first step for healthy weight loss is to create some sort of weight loss plan.I know that sounded a little vague, but your weight loss plan does NOT have to be something that only NASA could understand or approve.YOUR weight loss plan should include such simple things as what activities (exercise) you are going to indulge in, when, where, and so on. You will want to outline your weight loss goals, long term goals as well as short term goals. You will need to outline what your strategy will be for nutrition...notice I DID NOT say "diet"!Why have a formal, or at least semi-formal, weight loss plan?It has long been known to those who are successful in business, sports, entertainment, motivation, and other areas, that one way to improv

If you have an AT&T cell phone which is old, it is time to upgrade and get a new phone, because they are shutting down their analog service. From all that I am reading in the Telecom Trade Rags it seems the cost to run two-systems is not profitable for them.The analog system costs 5 times the cost to run in maintenance and the number of subscribers that have switched over makes it no longer profitable. The transition is almost completed and they have already begun shutting down those old cell towers. Meanwhile pressure in the industry to implement 3G+ and 4G is coming too.The newer technologies will allow for phones with personal GPS and all sorts of other cool stuff. And they have to do this to keep up with the competition. Luckily, if you are a long

In my opinion, one of the biggest skills of being able to sell well is developing your listening skills. Most sales companies and sales people talk about being consultative but they don't really know what consulting is! No-one can consult if they cannot listen first. You cannot sit around a table with your fellow sales people and decide what consulting services you are going to offer to a client - it doesn't work like that. Yes, you need a clear picture of what your services are but consulting services require you to listen to the client.Now I guess most people think they can listen well, don't you! Wrong! 90% of people have appalling listening skills and even those who know how to listen don't a lot of the time. Think about it! When you are in a conversatio
La Tour Eiffel
Yes, you did figure out this one. I picked it though as numerous subscribers to Paris-Eiffel-Tower-News.com ask me questions about it. I thought this would be a good opportunity to give you a few relevant figures.
Just a few facts: the Eiffel Tower is 324-meter high (including flagpole). Its first floor stands at 57 meters above the Seine, its second floor at 116 meters. It is 117-year old, and weighs ‘only’ 10,100 metric tons, concrete footing included.
To access each platform, you have a choice of taking the elevators, or climbing the 1665 step staircase. Sporty. I calculated that the waiting line to the ticket booth is 22 minute long on average.
The first and second floors are home to two restaurants: Altitude 95, and Le Jules Verne, respectively. Both offer a rewarding dining experience.
Just a word of advice: wear a windbreaker when you visit the tower. The metallic structure is a big Swiss cheese, and there is absolutely no wind protection whatsoever on either of its platforms.
Arc de Triomphe
This vantage spot isn’t just as well known as Mr. Eiffel’s tower. Yet, it offers a very interesting panoramic view of Paris.
This monument was erected to the glory of the French armies. Its four pillars bear the names of the killing fields where millions of European died uselessly to satisfy the blood thirst of one dictator or another. Commissioned by Napoleon I in 1806, the structure was completed 30 years later under King Louis-Philippe. At the base of the monument lies the grave of the Unknown Soldier, a Frenchman who was killed during WWI.
The structure is hollow, and can be visited. The ticket booth is located under the plaza on which the Arch is built. It can be accessed at the end of a tunnel opening at the upper end of the Champs Elysees Avenue. Taking the tunnel is a much safer option than trying to cross the traffic-laden plaza on foot.
On the rooftop, a round gazebo features a ceramic map on which you can orient yourself in relation with the various monuments around. When you face the Champs Elysees Avenue, the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower are at 2 o’clock, the Invalides dome at 1 o’clock. The Concorde obelisk stands at 12 o’clock, and the Montmartre hill is at 10 o’clock.
Rue du Telegraphe and the Parc de Belleville
I bet you didn’t know this one! Who ever heard of the Belleville Highs? Mind you, this area is quite interesting, and it offers
