Eiffel Tower Stair Climb with Bonbon Tours in Paris

Dominating Paris’s skyline since 1889, the Eiffel Tower remains one of the world’s most recognized architectural feats and an iconic symbol of France. Bonbon Tours offers an uncommon approach to this landmark: ascending the Eiffel Tower by climbing 669 stairs to the second floor. Unlike the usual elevator ride, this stair climb elevates the experience both physically and visually, immersing travelers in the steel framework’s intricate lattice as they ascend. This journey is an active way to connect with the tower’s history and engineering while earning breathtaking panoramic views of Paris.

Starting at the tower’s base in the Champ de Mars, climbers move through narrow passages framed by riveted iron beams, feeling the pulse of the city amplify below. Reaching the second floor, the expansive observation decks reveal landmarks like the Seine’s winding course, the rooftops of the Latin Quarter, and the distant outline of Montmartre. Bonbon Tours guides enhance the experience with stories about the Eiffel Tower's construction, its role in world fairs, and its transformation into a symbol of modernity.

What sets Bonbon Tours apart is their focus on this stair ascent, offering a physical challenge coupled with cultural insight that many visitors miss. It’s an adventure accessible to most reasonably fit travelers eager for a unique way to engage with Paris’s urban environment, away from the elevator crowds. With this approach, the climb becomes more than sightseeing—it’s an immersive encounter with the monument’s fabric and an invitation to view Paris through a more intimate lens.

Located in the heart of Paris, the tour complements the city’s broader outdoor urban exploration scene, linking history, architecture, and physical activity. For travelers who want more than a pass-through photo, Bonbon Tours delivers a memorable ascent that blends exercise, education, and unforgettable city views.
