 Sparkling like a Glow Bug
at Night by bpacker
Your first sight of La Tour Eiffel will be a magical experience, so here's a tip to make it more memorable...
Go to the tower during the night, just before the top of every hour (eg.10pm, 11pm) and the Eiffel tower will sparkle for a full ten minutes for you. If that's not enough, hang out at the Trocadero cafes till 2am..something magical will happen...
The lights of the tower will be switched off and the sparkly lights will twinkle magically for 10minutes. It's quite a spectacle, if you're still awake.
(Since I can't make my picture sparkle, click the website below to see what I mean..) Leave a Comment

 What in the World is Going on
Below? by NC_Ziggy
But as you travel and view with a bird's eye down upon a vast city filled with commerce and people just like you and me, do you ever wonder what is going on inside these buildings and homes? What monumental decisions are being made inside the halls of power? What vast sums of money are being made and lost? What lives are being forever changed with sensual touches of love and intimacy? What lives are being destroyed by darkened souls who abuse and control their companions or family? What incredible and despicable things are happening beneath your very eyes? Do you Ever Wonder?

 The Eiffel Tower at
night, a view from
Trocadero by joiwatani,
4 more photos
Personally, I like to see the tower at night when the lights are flickering. It is kind of wonderful to see it in the beginning. It is kind of magical, I would say, since it is my first time to see this famous landmark of France.
The tower is also beautiful at the daytime. But, to go to the tower, there is always a line of tourists and visitors willing to wait for hours to go up to the third floor or up to the top. For me, I don't have enough time and maybe someday, I can come back and do that when I have time on my hands. But, at this point in time, my concern was to go for the VT meeting at Les Bosquet and meet with some fantastic Virtual Tourist members! Directions: You can't miss it!!!

Did you know the Eiffel Tower is.......BROWN?!?!
I didn't.
Too many black and white photos we've been exposed to.
I always thought it was grey...until I saw it for the first time through the cab window as my French cab driver was racing Kamakazi-style through the Paris streets so I could catch my TGV on time. It was a combination Eureka and Near-Death-Experience for me!!
Hence, that moment and the sight of the Eiffel Tower in brown will forever be etched in my memory. Leave a Comment Directions: My God...HOW CAN YOU MISS IT???!!!

 There's the Arc de Triomphe,
from the Eiffel Tower by spgood301, 4 more photos
Admission depends on how high you go - there are three different levels, and the highest level is also the most expensive: the elevator ride to the top costs 11 euros for adults, 6 euros for kids 3-11. If you want to save some money and are in good shape, consider climbing. No, I don't mean climbing the outside of the Tower - you climb the stairs. It's cheaper, but you can only go to the second level.
By the way, there are restaurants on the first and second levels.
Enjoy the view! Leave a Comment

In the evening, take the #6 metro to Trocadero and walk to the "porch". You will get a bonus light show (no fireworks) if you arrive at the top of the hour.
Eiffel Millenium Light Show
For bigger, better shots than mine shown here, goto Anthony's Paris Photos
and click on "Photo Gallery" on the left, open a bottle of wine, and enjoy.
Thanks to Anthony Atkielski for inspiring Tour Eiffel shots he spent so much time taking and shares. Leave a Comment Directions: Shot from Parvis Trocadero (Metro Trocadero ligne 6) or you can shoot the other angle from Ecole Militaire / Champ du Mars.

 Eiffel tower by clairegeordio
There are lifts that go to the floors and stairs go just up to the second floor. It is open every day of the year, usually from 9.30am-midnight.
We paid for a ticket right to the top (10,40 euros), but we firstly stopped off on the second floor where the views were still amazing.
Please look at my Paris page travelogue for views from up the Eiffel Tower. Leave a Comment

 Eiffel Tower, from the
Seine by rwlittle
If you're afraid of heights, don't take the stairs back down, you may get freaked out by all that open air below you. Leave a Comment Directions: It's in the 7th Arrondissement. You can't miss it!!
