Exchange your voucher at the meeting point
Do not go to the tower to collect tickets — meet at 62 Avenue Suffren to receive your entrance pass before walking to the Champ de Mars.
Expect security and elevator waits
Even with reserved tickets you may face 30–90 minute waits for security or lift access, especially for summit holders; factor this into your schedule.
Time it for light and views
Early morning or late afternoon offers softer light and fewer crowds; sunset yields dramatic colors but longer queues.
Dress in layers and bring water
Wind on the platforms can be strong and temperatures drop with elevation, so pack a windbreaker and a refillable bottle.
Comfortable walking shoes
You’ll walk from the meeting point up to the Champ de Mars and stand on viewing platforms.
Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is important during queues and on exposed platforms.
Compact binoculars or zoom lens
Helps pick out distant landmarks like Sacré‑Cœur, Les Invalides and the river traffic.
Light windproof jacket
Platforms are exposed; a wind layer keeps you comfortable at elevation.
