Tip: Even if you don’t intend to purchase the photo, take one anyway in case you change your mind taking a selfie with a camera can be hit or miss due to lighting. There is a photographer that visits each table to capture the memory (which may be purchased, of course). This restaurant is the best brunch in Paris with a view. Below are selections from our recent visit. A drink, soda or wine, is included with lunch. There are 4 to 5 selections for each course - first (appetizer), second (entree), and third (dessert) and the options are palatable for vegetarians and carnivores.

There is a rotating lunch menu that is inspired by Chef Thierry Marx however, the menu of the day is fixed. I don’t know how they do it (maybe a partnership), but they can work behind the scenes and get a reservation on your behalf!ĥ8 Tour Eiffel is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Tip: Always try the Viator site, even if the 58 Tour Eiffel site says it has no availability. If you time it right, you could save a bit of change.Īlso, note that Viator has several options available with lunch (for example, you can add a cruise on the River Seine or a fully guided tour of the tower), both add a richer and more unique experience.

You may make advanced reservations on the Eiffel Tower's website or third-party providers, be sure to check multiple websites.

The first floor is a wide area with plenty of spaces to explore. During peak periods, another stairway may be open, look for signs. To take the stairs, entry is at the SOUTH pillar. Those without tickets should join the line with a yellow flag. Visitors with tickets should join the lines with a green flag. To take the elevators, go to the EAST or WEST pillars. You can examine the iconic architecture, take a selfie with the bronze bust of Gustave Eiffel sculpted by Émile Antoine Bourdelle (corner of the NORTH pillar), or glimpse the hydraulic lift equipment which dates to the 19th century.įrom here, you can travel to the first floor one of two ways: Visiting the Esplanade is the best budget-friendly experience. The Information Desk is on the West end of the tower where you can purchase tickets or make restaurant reservations. Upon entry, you can wander the open area and view the Trocadero. With the Eiffel Tower being one of the top 5 attractions in Paris, allow yourself at least thirty minutes to enter the ground level. The lines can be long, but they move at a reasonable pace. There was a time when you could walk the grounds of The Eiffel Tower and touch one of the four iron pillars, literally! With recent world events, the Esplanade is surrounded by tall glass walls and entry requires passage through security checks.
