Reserve at least two hours of your time for your visit to the Eifeel Tower. The line up is usually very long, and then it's up to you how much time you want to spend up there ( they don't force you to come down at any time.) There is a restaurant and a small gift shop on the second floor, but it's usually very expensive and crowded.
And be prepared for your ears to pop as you go further up to the top floor ; )
Bring a light jacket or something with you even if you're going up there in the summer. It can get really windy and don't be alarmed if the whole tower seems to shake and sway in the wind - im sure its very sturdy!

Our VT meeting was wonderful that the restaurant owner didn't close until we all went back to our hotels or to those based in Paris, to the comfort of their homes.
We had fine dining, wine, desert, coffee and the best part was we had a great company.
I truly enjoyed the company of Pedmar, footstool, ForestqueenNYC, CestVT and Penelope4.
We talked about VT, VT members and how fun it is to be a member of VT!
Personally, I wore the same pants for five days- since I had been travelling non-stop and didn't care much how I looked at that time. I just wanted to meet all the VT members who signed up for the VT Paris meeting last February 20, 2009. Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: 68 Les BousquetDirections: About three blocks from the Eiffel Tower.

After dinner we headed out to la Tour Montparnasse with the intent of having a glass of champagne at the top of the tower affording us with the divine view of the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, the bar was closed to us that night as someone had rented Ciel de Paris and had The Gypsy Kings playing! While we didn't get to see them playing we did get to hear The Gypsy Kings live - amazing. And the views are stunning, too!

 The illuminated Eiffel
Tower by Jenniflower
We went on an evening that was fine and mild, although on the waters it was understandably colder. It lasted for two hours, and we went under bridges and quite a way down the Seine.
This sight of the Eiffel Tower standing so majestically just off the banks of the river is an image that will stay with me forever.
Picture is a little blurry as I had neglected to turn my camera onto night mode (something I often do!) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Eiffel Tower in Paris ! by coceng
There were too many people, at that time when me & Alain were there around 11 pm.
The tourists, the local people, the students, the couples all mingle together underneath the Tour Eiffel. Is that suppose to be romantic underneath The Eiffel Tour ? Well, you have to be there to decide.
I decided not to go up the tower because we just didn't have enough time to explore the area better.

 Eiffel Tower in Paris ! by coceng
It is brightly lit with all the glittering lights !
Alain was telling me that the lights were changed every year to make a different photo every time tourists coming to see the tower.
Year lighting added contributing to Paris' reputation as 'City of Lights' in 1986.
There are 352 projectors of 1000 watts to flow electricity to the whole tower ! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Eiffel Tower in Paris ! by coceng
Infos :
The weight is 7,000 tons although 1,000 tons were removed during 1990's renovation.
The base is 412 feet square, roughly about 2.5 acres.
It's a great feeling for me of course to see Le Tour Eiffel with my own eyes although prior to reaching Paris, I thought it was just another tourist trap ! It is not... Leave a Comment Theme: Other
