I always thought Paris was called the City of Lights for the way the Eiffel Tower sparkles faithfully every hour, or the reflection of the streetlamps on the cobblestone when it rains, but it may just be called that for its glorious golden hours, when the world stands still for an hour and the whole city is bathed in an eternal gold from the sun. The best place to experience the hour before dusk is at the top of the Eiffel Tower, where the full effect of the sun’s rays on one of the best cities in the world is perfectly visible. See below for the beautiful proof.
