Guided Tour of the Eiffel Tower: Departure from the Trocadéro

The Musée de l’Homme lies in the heart of the Trocadéro, one of the most visited areas of Paris, famous for its view of the Eiffel Tower.

A visit that offers the unique chance to discover the artistic soul of Paris, contemplating it from above.

An absolute emblem of the city’s success, the Eiffel Tower offers a special yet also romantic adventure. Visitors can climb up to the second floor and then enjoy a panoramic view over Paris. A lift comfortably carries you to the various sections, letting you savour every small and great corner of the tower. A guide accompanies you, allowing entry through the main gate without any hassle. Bear in mind that during the heavy influx of visitors in high season there is also the risk of having to queue for up to 25 minutes, but some combined ticket packages always allow a considerable reduction in waiting time.

Climbing to the top of this extraordinary tower is not a merely touristic experience, but something sensational on a human level. A journey of the senses.

A truly ideal spot to capture every moment with extraordinary photographs. One need only mention the magnificence of the City of Light (Ville Lumière). In detail, you can admire the stunning wrought-iron structures that trace the ingenious architecture of Gustave Eiffel, creator of the monument, and his team. Construction began in 1887 and was completed in 1889 during the Universal Exposition. Something that marked a turning point for the era, transforming the urban landscape of Paris. On the first floor of the tower you can find an interactive museum that tells the story of the monument. To give a sensation of vertigo, but only as a dreamlike effect, there are transparent areas beneath your feet. On the first and second floors there are also restaurants where you can enjoy French culinary specialities with a breathtaking panorama. The renowned restaurant Le Jules Verne holds a Michelin star, offering an excellent gastronomic adventure, perfect for a romantic dinner or a special event. If you reach the second floor, the horizon lets you see with particular clarity other focal points of interest in Paris: the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré-Cœur of Montmartre and even the modern district of La Défense. If the lift takes you to the third level, you can contemplate the city like an astonishing painting.
