After 8 years, I was back in Paris for a business trip. Outside of work, I went to the Eiffel tower and watched the sunset. That was a unique experience! Getting an advance ticket was really important as it was still very crowded even in late Oct on a weekday. I also went to Fontainebleau to see the beautiful palace. The paintings and sculptures inside the palace were nothing short of spectacular. And one of my colleagues took us to a live performance by local artists as well as a rooftop bar with views of the Eiffel tower. It was a productive and fun trip!
