Great alternative to the Eiffel Tower. Tower was booked so thought this would be a good second best. Actually loved it, calm atmosphere, great views and no crowds – what’s not to like?
Tim – United Kingdom

The tower visit is very interesting, but there is only one main view, the one the tour Eiffel. This side of the building is interrupted in the middle by a restaurant and leaves a small place that is always full. The video is nice and interesting.
Marcus – Germany

I would choose this viewpoint over the eiffel tower any day. Seeing the eiffel tower is iconic in itself but it wasn’t overly busy (7pm on a Sunday night) had a great atmosphere 👍
