Tour Eiffel (Eiffel Tower)

It must have been in the cards that night. We weren’t planning to visit our first night, but the night was clear (even though chilly) and we were there.

Upon arrival, the Eiffel was sparkling (which I think it does every hour) and we went to the front entrance at the base.

A quick security check and we were inside. My wife wanted to go up and quickly found out we have a few hours before close… so we lined up.

It was still busy and we got to the first floor (first level of Eiffel Tower), then took another elevator to Sommet (to the top).

Got outside and WOW… amazing!!!

It is a 360 view of Paris

When they started to close for the evening, we got on the lower level and started to do some shopping.

Afterwards, when we got out, we took more pictures.
