La Tour Eiffel est le symbole mondial de la capitale Française

Construite en 1889, à l'occasion de l'Exposition Universelle, la Tour Eiffel a rapidement fait parler d'elle, à tel point que les organisateurs ont renoncé à la démonter. La Dame de Fer est aujourd'hui le symbole de la France. Haute de plus de 330 mètres de hauteur, elle offre une vue imprenable sur toute la capitale.

Ce monument Parisien reçoit plus de 6 millions de visiteurs par an, selon les saisons on peut monter jusqu'au 2ème étage de la tour par l'ascenseur ou les escaliers de 9h30 à 23h00.

Les billets sont disponibles en ligne jusqu'à 2 mois à l'avance.
