Best photo op in Paris
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/16/05
We went during the week of Thanksgiving so the lines weren't too long to get in the tower. It was free with the Museum Pass, otherwise it was 7 euros. You have to walk up a very long spiral staircase to get to the top, but halfway through there is a gift shop for you to browse and rest. If you want to buy something, do it right away because you don't exit the same way.
The very top was closed when we went, but we were up pretty high. The view was well worth all the stairs we had to climb. You can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance and obviously the Sen River, and a big castle on a hill in the other direction. The pictures turned out great, especially when you put a Gargoyle in the frame. You can get very creative.
