Eiffel Tower (part 2 of 2)
There are three levels on the Eiffel Tower. There is really nothing more to see from the top level, and based on how crowded the much larger, middle level was, I didn’t see any reason to become a sardine higher up.
In the above photograph you can see Sacre-Coeur in the distance in the middle. Closer, and to the right, are the Grand and Petit Palaises.
Jardins du Trocadero can be seen from the Eiffel Tower in the above picture. In the distance is Paris’s business center.
With some magnification you can get a good view of the Arch of Triumph from the Eiffel Tower.
The top level of the Eiffel Tower is still a long way up from the middle level.
From the park (Parc du Champ de Mars) next to the Eiffel Tower you can get the most common, postcard-type views of the Eiffel Tower.
One last note on the tower… If you take the stairs up, like we did, you can still take the elevator down for no additional fee.
