As dusk sets in on Paris, the city lights turn on. On a summers evening, the city lights overlap with the dusk golden light in the sky creating this amazing scene. This is a shot from the top of Tour Montparnasse. Paris is often referred to as "The City of Light" (La Ville Lumière), both because of its leading role during the Age of Enlightenment, and more literally because Paris was one of the first European cities to adopt gas street lighting. In the 1860s, the boulevards and streets of Paris were illuminated by 56,000 gas lamps.
