A musical experience in the heart of Paris's iconic monument

This Christmas concert stands out as much for its inspired classical program as for its exceptional venue: the Gustave Eiffel Salon, a glass-enclosed room suspended 57 meters above the ground, overlooking the Eiffel Tower forecourt. You are welcomed into a cozy and elegant atmosphere, between the iconic metal structures and a panoramic view of Paris illuminated at night. The moment becomes intimate, almost solemn, carried by the notes of Vivaldi's famous Four Seasons cycle, performed by a chamber orchestra conducted by David Braccini, solo violin.

The rich program will appeal to lovers of baroque music as well as enthusiasts of sacred repertoires and traditional melodies. The famous Ave Maria will be performed in all its intensity, before giving way to popular Christmas carols, rearranged for orchestra, which will bring back fond and warm memories.

Meticulous organization for a musical ascent

To ensure a smooth experience, spectators must arrive one hour before the concert at the Gustave Eiffel kiosk to collect their elevator pass. Access to the Tower is only possible via entrances 1 (Allée des Refuzniks) or 2 (Allée Jean Paulhan), with a dedicated line for the Gustave Eiffel Salon to avoid waiting. It is important to note that the last ascent is 15 minutes before the start of the concert. After this time, tickets are no longer valid.

The price includes the elevator ride, a practical detail that adds to the uniqueness of this artistic experience. You enter the Tower as if entering a metal cathedral, guided by music, to reach a room where time seems to stand still.

A musical moment for classical music lovers.

This event is for those seeking an immersive cultural experience, where music and heritage come together with emotion. If you are passionate about the great classics, sensitive to hushed atmospheres, or looking for a timeless moment to share with your loved ones during the holidays, this concert is for you.

However, this type of event is not suitable for people who are in a hurry, not particularly interested in classical music, or prone to vertigo. The organization requires rigor and punctuality, and access is subject to advance planning. It is a moment to be savored fully, without haste, in an atmosphere conducive to contemplation. 

In any case, it is a rare opportunity to celebrate Christmas in Paris in a different way, with music and at height, in the heart of one of the most iconic monuments in the world.
