Built by Gustave Eiffel and his teams for the 1889 World's Fair, the Eiffel Tower rises 324 meters above Paris. It draws more than 7 million visitors a year and remains, alongside Notre-Dame and the Arc de Triomphe, one of the most photographed monuments in the world.
Highlights
The panoramic view
The Eiffel Tower is beautiful from the outside, but it also offers a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view from within. If you like, head to the 3rd and top floor of the tower, but keep in mind that the view from the 2nd floor is actually the best. Don't forget your camera to capture this magical moment.
The Eiffel Tower's 1st floor
At 57 meters above the ground, the first floor features a 360-degree circular gallery with telescopes for observing the capital's landmarks. Its glass floor will give you quite a thrill if you look down...
The Jules Verne restaurant
If your budget allows, treat yourself to a table at the acclaimed Jules Verne gourmet restaurant, honored many times, including by the Michelin Guide. It's located on the second floor of the tower. Designed by Patrick Jouin, the restaurant is bathed in natural light by day, while by night the atmosphere turns cozy and romantic. It serves delicious French cuisine and, as if that weren't enough, the view is simply stunning.
