A trip up the iconic Eiffel Tower is a must on anyone’s first visit to Paris – and it is many years and many visits to Paris since I ascended.
I tend to take Paris in small chunks, knowing that all being well, I shall visit often again. I have still got the Louvre on my must visit list, so I have been reluctant to revisit the tower when there are other fantastic landmarks still unexplored.
But maybe I should think again – there are new restaurants, a new app and the view from any level of the tower is well-worthwhile.
On the first floor is 58 Tour Eiffel which offers a cuisine which is both simple and tasty in a friendly atmosphere. But on 2nd Floor is the new Restaurant Jules Verne – (see picture) created by chef Alain Ducasse – more stylish in a very 30s retro way and expensive but with stunning views to distract you from the gourmet food.
There is a revapled website at www.eiffel-tower.com and to prepare your visit you can now download an app for your i-Phone with maps, plans, opening times, weather etc.
