Le Jules Verne

There is a restaurant inside the Eiffel Tower, and you do not queue to reach it. A private lift in the south pillar takes diners straight up to the second floor.

    2. The private lift

      Diners go up from their own entrance at the foot of the south pillar, without a ticket for the tower and without its queue.

    3. After dinner

      A table here is also the calmest way to be on the tower at night, when it sparkles on the hour.
