Thanks very much for that information, especially the links. Closer to the time I think maybe we will book our tickets to prevent us from having to wait on a queue for too long.
A view of the Eiffel tower at night from the Trocadero is surely a must for a romantic holiday.Lights up at 9pm with the light show, then the same little show/sparkle on the hour.Probably want 10pm or later for the full effect against the darkness.

Thanks for that suggestion. That’s something I wasn’t aware of and so easily could’ve missed. I’ll add it to the list.
Definitely a boat trip.
We did the Moulin Rouge and that was fun. Get a table and dinner, it's a great evening. Still got a bottle of Champagne that we spotted left on a table, unopened!
We stayed here: Hôtel 4 étoiles Paris Montmartre - Villa Royale - Site Officiel
It was a fun hotel, very near to Moulin Rouge in the "Pigalle" district, so it has a busy nightlife and lots of atmosphere. It's not the best hotel in Paris, but it had some really cool quirky rooms and lovely little balconies overlooking the busy street. We loved it.

That looks absolutely great! Thanks for all the snaps and recommending things. A trip on a boat and to Moulin Rouge sounds great. What is the show exactly, is it like Burlesque? Also, do they do food??
It was a long time ago now, but from what I remember you can buy packages with dinner and champagne included.
The show is great. I remember a scantily clad woman swimming in an enormous glass tank full of water, and snakes.
Here is some info on it
Féerie show - Moulin Rouge (Site Officiel)
Well worth going! But dress smart. Suits and dresses to fit in.
Thanks for that. The “dress smart” thing might stop me going though if it is mandatory. I hate wearing suits and won’t be taking one with me. If I can go in a nice shirt and jeans though I will definitely be there.
Should be fine

Cheers for that. I’ll have to take some good footwear at least then.
I would just go in my pants.
Because I am British and will please myself and to show that I can.
