Verified Eiffel Tower & Paris Guide
Visiting Paris on a Eurostar weekend break? If you want the most romantic experience imaginable, schedule your tower visit for late afternoon just before sunset.
Why Timing is Everything
Catching the golden hour from 330 metres up transforms the Parisian skyline into a wash of soft pastels. You'll see the golden dome of Les Invalides, the Sacré-Cœur perched on Montmartre, and the River Seine meandering towards the English Channel.
🍾 Champagne at 330m
Treat yourselves to a flute of chilled Moët & Chandon at the top deck. It’s an unforgettable way to celebrate an anniversary, proposal, or bank holiday getaway.
