Mon Jardin Secret on rue Daguerre by Beausoleil
When you turn onto rue Daguerre, you are immersed in a Paris market street. We were there on a Thursday and the market may not be every day but it was busy and fun. Everything you could want was on sale and there was a man building furniture in one booth. This little dog was checking the fruits and vegetables but I suspect he did a little begging at a couple of the boucheries further along. This is in the 14th arrondissement and near the Denfert-Rochereau Metro stop and the rather lengthily named Musée de la Libération de Paris - musée du Général Leclerc - musée Jean Moulin and cheerfully known as The Liberation of Paris Museum which is much more manageable. It is also near the Catacombs of Paris.

Eiffel Tower on the right and Cathédrale de la Sainte-Trinité on the left by Beausoleil
Heading to the Alma-Marceau Metro stop, we got this great view of the Eiffel Tower and the new Russian Orthodox Cathédrale de la Sainte-Trinité across the Seine. Incredible.

Moving River of Words in the Branly Museum by Beausoleil
"The River" by Charles Sandison created for the museum in 2010 contains 16,597 names of all the peoples and geographical places present in the museum's collections to accompany the flow of visitors. The entire museum is arranged to resemble a river so this gets you started on the river theme and you then follow the river upstream through the various exhibits. I got a video but it's too dark to post. The white in the photo is words and the whole thing constantly flows down the ramp so is constantly changing. It is amazing.

Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac by Beausoleil
Instead of "Follow the yellow brick road," at the Branly you follow the wide red line in the pavement to the ticket office. It goes through a lovely garden and is easy to follow. The Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac or more commonly, the Branly Museum is near the Eiffel Tower. It was opened in 2006 and features the arts of Africa, Oceania, Asia and the Americas. It is a reasonable walk from the Palais de Tokyo with the Paris City Museum of Modern Art so the two museums make a good combination for one day. The Paris City Museums are free so you would only have to pay for the Branly. Under age 18 are free in the Branly Museum.

The New Glass Wall Around the Eiffel Tower by Beausoleil
I don't know if it's for crowd control or construction or both, but there is now a glass wall around the Eiffel Tower. There were signs directing people to the East Entrance. It appears there are going to be many more entrances but none of the other entrances were working when we were there in May.

The Eiffel Tower from Pont d'Iéna - with souvenir sellers by Beausoleil
There seem to be more souvenir sellers everyplace in Paris this year. I've never seen so many. You expect them at the Trocadéro, but not on the bridge. When we got across the bridge, we discovered a glass wall around the base of the tower with signs directing people to go to the East Entrance. We were going to the Branly so didn't try it. We also didn't take any photos from directly under the tower though . . .

The Aquarium of Paris by Beausoleil
We walked from Place du Trocadéro down through the Jardins du Trocadéro and discovered an aquarium in the center of Paris. If you have children or are interested in things marine, this could be a fun place to visit and it's practically beneath the Eiffel Tower.

Base of the Eiffel Tower with the new glass wall by Beausoleil
When we were there in May, they had built a glass wall around the base of the tower. I suppose it's for crowd control and there also seems to be some construction. There were signs to go to the east entrance. If you look at the picture, you will notice no people in the garden just beyond the tower. That is now fenced off. You go in the East entrance where the east ticket office is and join the line there. We've never gone up the tower, preferring instead to enjoy it from below and various vantage points throughout the city.

The Eiffel Tower from Place du Trocadéro by Beausoleil
To get the tower without people, I walked to the hedge bordering the plaza and shot from there. Place du Trocadéro is the perfect place to get the whole tower in the picture. It's also a great place to get your pocket picked so be aware of your surroundings while taking those wonderful photos. We've never been bothered but have heard lots of stories. It probably helps if you look like your pocket is not worth the effort.

The Eiffel Tower from the Place du Trocadéro by Beausoleil
This is a very quiet Trocadéro. There are often demonstrations here and usually more buskers and souvenir sellers, not to mention the tourist they entertain. It was a good day for pictures since you could actually see the large plaza with the tower in the background.

Eiffel Tower Mania at Place du Trocadéro by Beausoleil
We had lunch on the Place du Trocadéro and then walked over to see the Eiffel Tower. You pass a lot of tourists, tourist shops, buskers and various sellers of souvenirs before you get to the tower but it's all great fun. It may be the perfect place for photos and certainly for selfies if you take those.

Le Malakoff Restaurant near the Eiffel Tower by Beausoleil
We were walking from the Alma-Marceau Metro stop to the Eiffel Tower and lunch time arrived. We checked menus around the Place du Trocadéro and like the menu at Le Malakoff. We had a lovely lunch and walked on to the Trocadéro, the Eiffel Tower and eventually the Branly Museum. They do have Eiffel Tower views if you get the right seats.
