How To Avoid Eiffel Tower Queues.

How to avoid a queue at the Eiffel Tower - simple, get in early. I know, a lot of people want to see the sun go down whilst on the Eiffel Tower or watch the lights come on in Paris from their. If that's the case, book online but just remember that you have to arrive within 30 minutes of your nominated time.

We arrived nice and early in the morning and got took some photos of the tower from Trocadero. The kids were hyperactive, this was the thing they have been looking to the most over the past 6 months. Our arrival time was just after opening time, I haven't pre booked but it didn't matter as it took less than 5 minutes and it wasn't much longer and we were on the top level of the 324metre tower. Milana and Sebastian were in awe of the tower, wanting to know how many bolts and beams are in it. The views from the top are great, it is amazing that Gustav Eiffel had an apartment up there. 

Whilst the views are amazing I was glad we're there when we were as it wasn't too crowded. Even with small crowds it is amazing how many people will just crawl over the top of you to try to get a picture. And don't even get me started on Selfie Sticks. I wonder how IOT's upcoming roam-e flying selfie will fair up there. We made our way down to level two, the kids had some Macaroons and Kylie and I had a champagne - from the kiosk. We had been there a while and when we come across 58 Tour Eiffel. We had a table near the window with a nice view across the river. We wondered from the tower to Champs-Élysées and to the Arc De Triomphe. Kylie jwas a little underwhelmed with the famous shopping strip, in fact she was surprised and saddened by the amount of beggars. My highlight was the Renault F1 car.
