Histoire de la TourEiffel
There's something magical about the TourEiffel. It's become the symbol of Paris, the symbol of France itself, and yet it was never meant to stand for more than a year. It was originally supposed to be erected in Barcelona, but plans designed by Gustave Eiffel were rejected. Construction finally began in Paris, where the tower was to create an entrance archway for the Exposition Universelle in 1889. 120 years later...and the Eiffel Tower continues to stand the test of time, despite being branded an eyesore by many of the great French names of the day. One of its greatest critics was Guy de Maupassant, the French writer who allegedly dined at one of the Eiffel Tower's restaurant every day as it was the only place in Paris where he ...
In my last visit to Paris last year, my husband and I visited la tourEiffel at night, having previously visited it in the middle of a hot summer day. I thought, a night visit would be quite different, the night scene would be a nice change and the crowds will not be so bad. Upon reaching the Eiffel Tower, I wasn't wrong in my assumptions because it was quite deserted and we had a fabulous time!
Getting there

The Eiffel Tower can be reached by several means, of which we chose to walk. Our hotel was within walking distance and we felt rather comfortable and safe to walk in those areas. We don't know whether its either our ignorance or the general safety of the local area, but we didn't meet any trouble and we had a wonderful long walk to and fro the Eiffel in the quiet of the suburbs of Paris. By all means, take ...
Advantages: such an iconic monument, great view of Paris Disadvantages: long line to go up using the elevator, a little expensive
If you go to Paris, I highly recommend going to see the Eiffel tower.
You can have a great view of the Eiffel Tower from the Trocadero where you can see the gardens and the Tower at the end, to me it's the best view of the Tower you can have. Indeed, it's so big that you can't have that kind of view from up close.
When you get to the Tower, you can either go up by taking the stairs or by taking the elevator to the middle of the tower.Once you are there, you can take an elevator to the top (no stairs go up, only an elevator).
Is the elevator worth it? it's up to you, it's fairly expensive for an elevator ride and the line can be a bit long but it will save you a lot of time and energy, especially if you are with children or older people, it's quite a hike by stairs and you don ...
