Concorde Lafayette Paris Hotel. Stunning Paris Views From 33rd Floor.

by Gary Bembridge · June 11, 2011

The view of the Eiffel Tower from Concorde Lafayette Hotel Paris 28th Floor room (Room 2807)

ADDENDUM It is a year since I last stayed at the hotel. This time I was in a Deluxe Room on the 30th Floor and had access to the Club Lounge.

FURTHER ADDENDUM: APRIL 2009 – MORE ABOUT THE REVAMP OF ROOMS!

About a year or so I reviewed this hotel and was not very complimentary as the hotel rooms were shabby and old fashioned. That review and some pictures are one of the most viewed blog postings I have ever written, probably as this is a massive hotel that attracts many conferences (as next to the Congress Centre) and package tours, especially American. I was, therefore, very impressed on staying here again. The hotel is going through a major revamp and refurbishment and while not all rooms done yet as time of writing, the rooms that have been done have the “wow factor”. They have done a great job. The new room look is contemporary, feels quality and is well done. The rooms are actually not very large but space has been used well. The bathroom is very modern, with black slate wall tiles and light tiles on the floor. The bathroom fixtures are Villeroy and so quality. The whole look is stunning and good to use. In the bedroom there is a decent sized desk to work at, trendy leather chair and large bed. They use 2 single duvets though that works less well to sleep under, and the linen is not as good as some chains – but that is me being picky than anything important… There is a flat screen TV with a good range of channels, though for English speakers only news channels. The building is I guess from the 70s or so, and there are some noises and such I think from the dated plumbing, but nothing too disturbing. You can buy access to the gym under the hotel. It is a good gym but quite expensive and always very full, but at about 25 Euros a visit is quite costly, so if you want to use the gym check rates for room that give you gym access. Breakfast is a bit of an ordeal as zillions of conference and tour groups and in what seems to be meeting rooms. But a good selection of food, though a bit stressful event for the morning! In terms of service, it is pretty good. On checking in they made a fuss and someone from the corporate sales team came to greet me, saying how pleased they were to work with the company. Probably a bit over the top, but made you feel welcome in this massive and busy hotel where one could easily feel anonymous. So nice touch, though she did not upgrade me to a club room which would have been even nicer. But as above, I liked the room a lot.

Eiffel Tower (View from the Hotel Concorde La Fayette) (StreetView)

23 Spots for Incredible Eiffel Tower Views in Paris

' src=

The Eiffel Tower is the unofficial symbol of Paris, and is a destination for over 6 million visitors every year.

And while I definitely think it’s worth climbing the Eiffel Tower, there’s no denying that some of the best views in Paris include the Eiffel Tower itself.

I’ve been to Paris 7 times (including a 3-month stint in college when I lived in the city), and the thrill of discovering a gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tower never goes away.

In this guide, I’m sharing my favorite places to admire La Tour Eiffel and even snap a great Instagram-worthy picture with the Iron Lady. I’ve personally visited all of these locations, many of them on multiple occasions as I’ve brought family and friends for their first visit to Paris .

23 Best Eiffel Tower Views in Paris

So without further ado, let’s jump into the list!

Tip : This list is generally ordered from closest to the Eiffel Tower to the farthest away from the tower.

1. Rue de l’Université and Rue Buenos Aryes

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Rue de l’Université and Rue Buenos Ayres are two different streets that lead directly to the base of the tower. Rue de l’Université is on the north side of the tower and Rue Buenos Ayres is on the south side and are so, so pretty.

Each of these streets are on exact opposite sides of the Eiffel Tower and perfectly frame in the entire tower between gorgeous Haussmanian buildings. Rue de l’Universite is a little bit more well-known (and thus busier), but expect there to be people at each one and in your shot unless you’re here first thing.

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

While you shouldn’t expect Rue Buenos Ayres to be completely empty, it is not as pouplar (yet) as Rue de l’Université and is thus somewhat less crowded. After being there for just a few minutes, the crowds thinned out and the street was pretty empty – great for capturing a nice shot.

(Plus, the most recent time I was climbing the Eiffel Tower in February of 2024, I looked down from the 1st level and could see both of the streets and the crowds at Rue Buenos Ayres were noticeably lighter).

2. Pont d’Iena

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Pont d’Iena is the bridge crossing the Seine that is directly in front of the Eiffel Tower. You can stand in the middle of the street for an epic photo, but do this with caution – it is a busy street with traffic in both directions.

I’d recommend you cross the street at the crosswalk on the far end of the bridge, and quickly run to the middle for a quick snap before the light turns red.  Alternatively, come early in the morning before traffic picks up. 

3. Champs de Mars

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

The Champs de Mars is a delightful park in Paris and has lawns, benches, tree-lined paths, and no shortage of great views. Besides the main pathway pictured above, there are actually a lot of meandering trails around the edge of the tower, offering unique angles of the Iron Lady.

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

One of my favorite things when visiting the Eiffel Tower is to stop at Rue Cler to pick up picnic supplies, then head over to the Champs de Mars to enjoy a leisurely picnic on the lawn, looking at the tower.

Different parts of the lawn can be fenced off at times, but usually you can find an area on the side that’s open.

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

4. Trocadero Platform

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Trocadero is the large complex and viewing platform on the opposite side of the river from the Eiffel Tower. It is one of the most classic Eiffel Tower viewpoints in Paris, and although it can get pretty busy, I still love this spot.

Watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night from Trocadero is unmatched, even with the crowds, thanks to the incredible, straight-on, complete view it gives.

Pro Tip: The regular lights on the Eiffel Tower turn on around dusk. The sparkling lights on the tower turn on for 5 minutes at the top of the hour (e.g. 8pm-8:05pm) once it’s completely dark.

5. Trocadero Fountains

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

The great thing about Trocadero is that while it’s popular, it’s also quite large and there are a lot of beautiful places to spread out and take pictures.

The ledges by the fountains are a beautiful spot for a picture with a view of the tower (even if the fountains aren’t running, haha).

6. Trocadero Stairs

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

One final spot in Trocadero that makes for a great Eiffel Tower photo spot is the stairs leading from the ground up to the main viewing platform at Trocadero.

As you can see, this was in the middle of the day when there were a lot of people around, but the angle minimizes the other people and gives a nice view of the tower.

7. Avenue de Camoens

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Just a few streets down from the Trocadero platform is this tiny but gorgeous street. Avenue de Camoens is seriously picture-perfect, and because it’s slightly elevated on a hill, you still get a great vantage point of the tower.

Every year this spot becomes more popular, especially for actual photoshoots, and there are only a couple places where you can take a picture, so be prepared to queue. 

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Alternatively, walk down the staircase (which is just behind the first picture of me standing by the lamppost), which tends to be overlooked but still is one of the most Instagrammable places in Paris.

8. Bir Hakeim Bridge

The Bir Hakeim Bridge is a fantastic viewpoint, as it is just downriver from the tower with the Seine in the foreground. There are actually quite a few unique spots to admire the tower and take pictures on this bridge.

The first is on the far side of the bridge from the tower – you get a small break in the trees and can see the bottom of the front legs of the tower.

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

The second is from the small overlook jutout on the bridge, with the France Reborn statue. This is closer to the left bank of the Seine.

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

You can also go underneath the supporting columns for Metro Line 6, which runs above the pedestrian and car section of the bridge. These columns make for a very fun framing device for the tower.

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Finally, if you’re taking Metro Line 6 between the Passy and Bir Hakeim Stations, you’ll actually ride along this bridge and get the most scenic metro views in all of Paris.

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

9. Rue de Monttessuy + Avenue de la Bourdonnais

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

The intersection of Avenue de la Bourdonnais with the smaller Rue de Monttessuy is a highly underrated viewpoint of the Iron Lady. This is a highly underrated spot – there aren’t the crowds of Rue de l’Université, but you can see most of the Eiffel Tower.

Rue de Monttessuy is fairly long and the view of the tower is about the same anywhere on the street, but the buildings are prettier the closer you are to Avenue de la Bourdonnais.

10. Passerelle Debilly

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Passerelle Debilly is a pedestrian-only, modern bridge just upstream from the Eiffel Tower. The archways make for an interesting backdrop and you’re right by the Eiffel Tower – you can easily frame in the tower with the steel columns of the bridge. 

11. Eiffel Tower Old Timey Photographers

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

This is a big hidden gem in Paris , which is actually so “secret” that there actually isn’t even a specific location to give you.

A group of women runs the most charming little old-timey photograph stand, where they will take pictures of you with their old-school camera and then print them off onto an old-timey looking newspaper front page.

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

They don’t have set hours and they always set up somewhere a little bit different around the Eiffel Tower (you can sometimes find them by Pont d’Iena, but we actually stumbled upon them at Passerelle Debilly).

There is no set price – it’s by donation only – and is the most charming little souvenir to bring home from Paris with you. Keep your eyes open for these women as you walk around the tower!

12 . Avenue de New York

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Avenue de New York runs right along the Seine on the opposite side of the Seine from the tower. The avenue is lined with trees that beautifully frame the Eiffel Tower, which makes in one of my favorite walking streets in Paris.

There’s not one best spot on the Avenue, the sidewalk continues quite a ways along the river and there are dozens of great “spots”.

13. Port Debilly

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Port Debilly is the walkway right along the Seine across from the Eiffel Tower. There are quite a few boats moored here on either side of the Pont d’Iena, but there’s also plenty of open space that makes for great pictures. You get the most incredible Eiffel Tower views here right along the water, with the entire tower clearly visible.

Be careful of the river though – there are no guardrails protecting you from falling in!

This is truly one of my favorite Eiffel Tower viewpoints.

14. Le Recrutement Café

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Café le Recrutement is a charming little café quite a few blocks northeast of the tower. If you stand on the opposite side of the street, you’ll get a beautiful view of the café façade in the front and the tower visible down the street.

I love this viewpoint – it just has so many classic Parisian elements in it – the narrow street, the cafe, the traditional Parisian architecture in the building above the cafe, the view of the tower *chefs kiss*.

Le Recrutement is also just a few minutes’ walk from Les Invalides and the Pont Alexandre III.

15. Pont Alexandre III

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

The Pont Alexandre III is THE most intricate and ornate Beuax-Arts bridge in Paris, decorated with massive sculptures, decorative reliefs, and wrought iron Art Nouveau lampposts.

All four corners of the bridge have a little curved jutout perfect for capturing a great photo of the bridge, and there is a really nice, semi-obstructed view of the tower from the right bank of the bridge.

(Pro Tip: We also really liked the view (and fewer crowds) on the left bank of the bridge).

16. Port de la Concorde

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

If you walk the sidewalk along the Seine between the Pont Alexandre III and Place de la Concorde, you are rewarded with this pretty fantastic view of the tower. I particularly like having the river and the stately columns and golden winged horses of the Pont Alexandre III in the picture as well.

There is a small retaining wall along this sidewalk where you can sit for a picture.

17. Arc de Triomphe

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

The Arc de Triomphe has one of the most epic Eiffel Tower views in all of Paris and it should definitely not be missed.

When you climb the spiral staircase to the top of the arch, you’re rewarded with this amazing, quite close-up view of the Eiffel Tower. I personally love coming up here at nighttime to see the tower glowing.

It takes about 10 minutes to climb to the top, so I’d try to time your arrival to the Arc about 15 minutes til so that you can see the Eiffel Tower sparkle at the top of the hour.

Pro Tip : The Arc de Triomphe is included in the Paris Museum Pass – read more about it in my Guide to the Paris Museum Pass .

18. Place de la Concorde

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Place de la Concorde is a historic square in Paris between the Tuileries Garden and the Champs Elysées and was the location of the main guillotine during the French Revolution. The obelisk was a gift from Egypt and is flanked by two gorgeous fountains, and you can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance from the Place itself.

However, the above picture was taken at the corner of Tuileries Garden and the Rue de Rivoli (close to the Concorde metro station entrance), which gives you a great view of the Place and the Eiffel Tower together.

19. Bell Towers of Notre Dame

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Currently, all of Notre Dame is closed for reconstruction, following the rooftop fire of 2019. However, the church is set to reopen on December 8, 2024, and then (hopefully) visiting the bell tower will be possible again.

The bell tower requires a separate ticket and only allows in a certain number of people per day, but you get to walk along the rooftop, go in the tower and see one of the bells, get up close and personal with gargoyles, and admire some of the views over Paris.

One reason I love the view from the Notre Dame bell tower is that you can see both the Eiffel and the Arc de Triomphe, as well as other landmarks around central Paris.

20. Pompidou Center

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

The Pompidou Center is an incredibly unique modern art museum in Paris, as the building itself is modern art and a type of “inside-out” museum, with pipes and escalators visible on the exterior of the building.

While this is not a free museum in Paris , you actually can go up the escalator tube and visit the viewpoints at the top for free.

Unfortunately, the day I was there it was rainy and the pictures just don’t do it justice but on a clear day, the view is fantastic.

You can get a great view of Paris and the Eiffel Tower from the escalator tube, but make sure you go to the open-air terraces on level 5 and 6 for unobstructed views!

21. Galeries Lafayette Rooftop

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Galeries Lafayette is a famous luxury department store in Paris, with locations all around France. The flagship shop is truly stunning, with an elaborate glass dome soaring above the store.

Anyone can take the escalators up to the 7th floor to access the free panoramic terrace. Here, you’re treated to incredible views over the nearby Opera Garnier, the Eiffel Tower, and the Parisian rooftops.

22. Printemps Rooftop

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Printemps Femme is next to Galeries Lafayette on Boulevard Haussman and is another big, luxury department store with a gorgeous glass dome on the top floor. You can also go up to the free rooftop terrace to enjoy panoramic views of Paris.

This terrace is quite a bit smaller than the one at Galeries Lafayette, but it’s very nice – there are plants and chairs to sit at, and hardly any people. You don’t have the same view of the opera house, but that’s okay, you still have a great view over the rooftops of Paris to the Eiffel Tower.

23. Sacré Coeur Domes

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

The final spot on this list is the domes of the Sacré Coeur Basilica in Montmartre. While many people visit Sacré Coeur, few realize that there is an incredible panoramic view up in the dome!

Watch for the sign directing you to the entrance for the panoramic viewpoint right before you enter the basilica. You’ll pay the entrance fee and start climbing the 292 spiral staircase steps up to the rooftop and into the dome.

The views in the arched passageway on the rooftop are amazing, and you get to see the other spires and domes of the basilica up close. But the view through the column out to the Eiffel Tower in the distance is just top-notch.

For me, this is one of the best things to do in Montmartre.

The Wrap Up

The Eiffel Tower is a stunning and awe-inspiring structure in Paris and its no wonder that it’s a beloved backdrop for photos and inspiration for viewpoints.

While there is no shortage of spots where you’ll see the tower peaking out above the buildings in Paris, the locations in this list are, in my opinion, some of the most beautiful and iconic views of La Tour Eiffel in Paris – I’m sure you’ll love them too.

8 of My Favorite Places to See the Eiffel Tower

Eiffel Tower Sunset

One of the questions I’m often asked is, “Does seeing the Eiffel Tower ever get old?” Without batting an eye, I quickly answer “No, it certainly doesn’t!” One of my favorite things is coming across a view that I’d not discovered previously. Whether at my home in the 7th arrondissement or clear across the city, spotting Paris’ iconic landmark is a bit of a sport for me.

Favorite Places to See the Eiffel Tower

Eiffel Tower View

When I first moved to Paris five-and-a-half years ago, I could see the Eiffel Tower from the window in my tiny studio in the 8th arrondissement. I can’t remember a time that I didn’t stop and watch the hourly light show. That, as well as walking the city, was my entertainment when money was tight. Even after all of these years, I still love to wander and discover different Eiffel Tower vantage points, as well as revisit some of my old favorites. A post that’s long overdue, here are eight of my favorite places to view the Eiffel Tower, from open-air rooftops to the most hidden alleyways.

Rue Saint-Dominique

Eiffel Tower on Rue Saint-Dominique

If you follow anyone on Instagram that spends any time in Paris then you’re likely familiar with this view. And if you watch my Instagram Stories then you’ve probably seen this perspective more times that you care to remember. Well, for two years, this little stretch of Rue Saint-Dominique was where I lived. That’s right; every time I walked outside of my building’s door, this was my view. Not bad, I must say.

Place de la Concorde

Many of the best places to view the Eiffel Tower are actually iconic Paris locations themselves. One of these is at Place de la Concorde and Rue de Rivoli. Here, at the corner of the Tuileries Gardens sits the famous Lion au Serpent statue. Standing in this historic part of the city, you can feel the history while admiring the most iconic Paris landmark of all in the distance — the Eiffel Tower. The great thing about the view from along the Tuileries fence is that you also get to see the Luxor Obelisk, the Place de la Concorde fountains, Assemblée Nationale, the Grand Palais, Hôtel de Talleyrand, Jeu de Paume, and Hôtel de Crillon.

Galeries Lafayette Rooftop Terrace

My readers know I love Galeries Lafayette, so it should come as no surprise that the rooftop on the 7th floor of the department store is one of my favorite places to admire the tower. The Terrace at Galeries Lafayette offers spectacular 180-degree views of Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, Palais Garnier, and sprawling city rooftops too. Weather permitting, the rooftop is open daily, and access is free of charge.

Paris Palace Hotels

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

I love hotels, and Paris has no shortage of incredible ones! In France, the government designates hotels that have exceptional history and luxury with the “Palace” distinction. Most of these Palace hotels offer some of the best views of Madame Eiffel from their rooms, restaurants, and bars. A few to consider are the Four Seasons George V , Plaza Athénée (AKA, the hotel from Sex in the City ), Shangri-La , Le Bristol , Le Meurice , The Peninsula , and La Réserve . Although not a Palace, I equally love Hôtel Raphael , located next to The Peninsula.

Rue Berton is one of my secret spots in the city. This narrow, cobblestoned street is tucked in the side of a hill and surrounded by lush greenery. Rather than the 16th arrondissement, Rue Berton feels like it’s in a tiny French village, if it weren’t for the Iron Lady standing tall between the buildings. It’s one of few places where it’s possible to sneak photos of the tower without a person in sight. Head to where Rue Berton passes alongside the Auguste Perret building for this iconic view.

Avenue du President Wilson

concorde lafayette tour eiffel

Step off the train at the metro station Trocadero and stroll along Avenue du President Wilson. Here, near Palais de Tokyo, at the stairs on the right side of the sidewalk is one of most spectacular places to view the Eiffel Tower. Those steep steps have served as my Stairmaster on many occasions. The reward each time I make it to the top is the view of Madame Eiffel, with the historic Parisian buildings in the foreground. That’s certainly worth the sore knees.

Rue de l’Université

There’s nothing quite like viewing the Eiffel Tower from a location where everyday Parisian life is taking place. Rue de l’Universite is a long road through the 6th and 7th arrondissements. As one of the city’s most prestigious streets, it transects some of the most beautiful and sought after real estate in Paris.

That’s why the corner of Rue de l’Universite and Avenue de la Bourdonnais is one of my favorite places to view the Eiffel Tower. Here, the Haussmanian buildings frame the Iron Lady like an antique gilt frame. It’s a view I enjoy even more at night, when the windows of Parisian apartment buildings glow in the foreground, and the tower shines behind.

Square Rapp

Square Rapp is one of the most secluded places to view the Eiffel Tower. Walk down Avenue Rapp and you just might miss the entrance to the square. After all, the famously ornate Jules Lavirotte building just on the corner catches most everyone’s attention. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know it’s been a long-time dream to live in Square Rapp. The surrounding buildings feature ornate architecture, wrought iron terraces and other unique architectural elements that set my heart aflutter. The fact that the Eiffel Tower is perfectly centered between the two corner buildings is just an added bonus.

There you have it — eight of my favorite places to see the Eiffel Tower. I have countless others, but I can’t share all of my secrets now, can I?

Champs-Elysees and Concorde to host Paralympics opening ceremony

Paris has chosen the Champs-Elysees and Place de la Concorde to host the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Paralympics on Wednesday. The event will welcome a grand parade with over 180 delegations and 4,400 para-athletes, marking a celebration in two of the city's most renowned landmarks.

Issued on: 26/08/2024 - 03:35 Modified: 26/08/2024 - 08:14

Paris has chosen the iconic Champs-Elysees avenue and the historic Place de la Concorde to host the opening ceremony for the Summer Paralympics on Wednesday.

The prestigious avenue sweeping through the 8th arrondissement to the west of central Paris is dotted with cafes, palaces and luxury shops and connects the Arc de Triomphe in the west with Place de la Concorde in the east in a single straight line.

The Champs-Elysees

Tens of thousands of people daily throng the two-kilometre-(one mile)-long tree-lined artery with its wide sidewalks.

It has long been for French a place of celebrations and popular gatherings.

It was there in 1960 that American actress Jean Seberg appeared in Jean-Luc Godard 's legendary new wave film "Breathless" selling copies of the New York Herald Tribune.

On Wednesday it will be the scene of a popular parade, open to everyone and involving up to more than 180 delegations and 4,400 para-olympians from around the world.

France has celebrated two football World Cup victories there, the traditional military parade on July 14, the Bastille Day national holiday, and the Tour de France cycle race ends there.

Hundreds of thousands of Parisians and tourists gather there to celebrate New Year's Eve.

Once fields and fallow land, the avenue started to take shape when Louis XIV's city planner first linked the Louvre to the Tuileries Garden in the mid-17th century.

At one end of the avenue is the Arc de Triomphe, commissioned by French Emperor Napoleon which now honours France's war dead, and was inaugurated in 1836.

France's WWII leader General Charles de Gaulle , chose it, of course, for his triumphant return from exile on August 26, 1944, after the Liberation of Paris from the Nazis.

However the prestigious thoroughfare has known scenes of unrest. Police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon when "yellow vest" anti-government protesters in 2018 attacked the Arc de Triomphe, and ransacked shops.

However, with stores and historic cinemas closing along the avenue due to rising rents and falling sales, locals have gradually abandoned the Champs-Elysees over concerns that it is too noisy, dirty and expensive.

With Paris' other famous symbol the Eiffel Tower looming just across the River Seine , the name is the French for Elysian Fields, the paradise for dead heroes in Greek mythology.

Place de la Concorde

At the other end, the Place de la Concorde, the largest square in Paris, will be the scene of the official parade for ticket holders, in addition to the protocol and artistic sequences.

The square has a bloody past: then known as "Place de la Revolution" it was a place of execution and heads rolled (literally) there during the French Revolution.

King Louis XVI and his wife Marie-Antoinette were famously guillotined there in 1793 during the Reign of Terror that followed the 1789 Revolution.

It was renamed Concorde after the July Revolution of 1830.

Today the elegant paved square by the Seine is defined by its huge obelisk, one of a pair originally erected by Ramses II outside the temple in Luxor in Egypt in the 13th century BC. It was gifted to Paris in 1830.

Forget the Eiffel tower price hikes and enjoy views of Paris at these places

The Eiffel Tower, which attracts close to 7 million visitors annually, has been facing financial challenges.

According to the Paris Municipality, pandemic-induced tourism slump dealt a significant blow to its revenue streams and delays in maintenance and maintenance costs have surged.

This has resulted in a 20% increase in ticket prices to cover the ongoing maintenance costs of the 135-year-old structure.

Effective from August 1, 2024, visitors now pay €35 (approximately R678) to ascend the Eiffel Tower, up from the previous fee of €29,10 (about R564).

Commenting on this, Antionette Turner, General Manager at Flight Centre South Africa said that while the price increase might seem steep, it’s important to remember that the Eiffel Tower is more than just a tourist attraction – it’s a piece of living history that requires constant care and upkeep.

She said that despite the fee increase, the agency doesn’t anticipate a significant drop in interest from South African travellers.

“Paris remains a dream destination for many, and the Eiffel Tower is often at the top of their must-see list. The experience of standing atop this iconic structure and taking in the panoramic views of Paris is truly priceless,” she said.

Though ticket prices have increased, there are other ways to still enjoy Paris and the Eiffel Tower.

Budget-conscious travellers will be pleased to know that the price increase applies to tickets that include elevator access to the top and visitors can opt for cheaper tickets that only go to the second floor or even choose to climb the stairs for a more adventurous and budget-friendly experience.

However, for those seeking panoramic views of Paris without the hefty price tag of the Eiffel Tower, there are several excellent alternatives.

Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur Basilica

The Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur of Montmartre is the Shrine of Perpetual Adoration and divine Mercy, dedicated to Jesus' sacred Heart.

It is a unique place where people prayed day and night, continuously, for almost 140 years now.

You can enjoy views of Paris for free from the steps of the Sacré-Cœur.

Galeries Lafayette Rooftop Terrace

Galeries Lafayette has long enjoyed strong links with the worlds of fashion and contemporary design.

The Haussmann department store regularly hosts prestigious events, showcasing key designers of the moment as well as introducing its customers to artists whose work has endured the test of time.

This department store’s rooftop provides a fantastic view of the city, including the Eiffel Tower, and is free.

Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces.

Under its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the First World War.

While entry costs €13, it’s less than half the price of the Eiffel Tower and offers spectacular views down the Champs-Élysées and beyond.

Montparnasse Tower

At 689 feet tall, the monolithic Tour Montparnasse, an office skyscraper in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, is as imposing today as when it was completed in 1973.

There is an old joke in Paris that the top of Montparnasse Tower has the prettiest view in the French capital.

Slightly pricier at €18, it is still more affordable than the Eiffel Tower, with the added bonus of having the Eiffel Tower in your panoramic view.

Parc de Belleville

The Parc de Belleville, one of the parks and gardens of the 20th arrondissement of Paris, is situated between the Parc des Buttes Chaumont and the Père Lachaise Cemetery.
