Staying a Night in the Eiffel Tower 愛在星光燦爛下 ── 夜宿巴黎鐵塔 Four lucky winners got a chance to stay a night in Paris's most famous landmark.
兩四位幸運得主得到在巴黎最著名的地標住一晚的機會。
What would you do if you could spend a night in an apartment in the Eiffel Tower? In a recent contest, the vacation rental company HomeAway asked this question and got over 150,000 answers. They chose the four best answers, and those people got a chance to actually stay in an apartment in the Eiffel Tower.
HomeAway built a temporary apartment in the Eiffel Tower as part of the UEFA Euro 2016, a major soccer competition. The apartment was designed in a classic French style with high-end furniture from Italy and has amazing views of the lights of Paris. As part of the package, HomeAway also arranged for traditional French food and activities for their guests to enjoy. Unfortunately, each of the four winners could only spend one night in the Eiffel Tower, but their prizes did include free stays at fancy apartments in other parts of Paris for a few more nights.
The company said it was difficult to choose the winners because there were so many good answers. However, HomeAway finally chose four winners, including Michelle Stevenson from the UK. She has two autistic sons who love the Eiffel Tower, and they will never forget their amazing experience.
