Skating c'est bon!

The Eiffel Tower's ice rink has opened for the winter season.

After purchasing tickets to the first floor of the iconic monument, tourists can borrow a pair of skates and take a spin, or fall, with views of Paris surrounding them.

The experience thrilled American honeymooners Colette and Burt.

[Burt and Colette, American Tourists]:
"It's awesome, once in a lifetime. I know, I don't even like skating. I'm terrible!"

The rink will stay open for two months -- available to anyone willing to brave the freezing temperatures for a glide above the city of lights.
