It wasn’t that there was no availability to book the Eiffel Tower summit (top floor) nor the 2nd floor of the Eiffel tower, it was that there was no availability for pre-booked time slots.

This time, we found there was no availability on the day of our visit and had some navigational trouble but were accessing the site from our mobile device. On previous occasions, we had tried to book tickets in advance on the website but had difficulty with processing our cards. But I recognized my error and corrected it. I don’t love heights, especially on a metal tower built in the 1800s (by Gustave Eiffel, naturally) and selfishly tried to persuade her to try the 1st and 2nd levels rather than go to the top. There was an incredible joy and fascination our daughter showed, an unbridled enthusiasm that she hasn’t shown for other destinations and it was wonderful to be able to give her that experience. That said, we had a schedule change that granted us an extra day, and buying tickets online doesn’t ensure good weather and clear skies for viewing so it was best to wait until we arrived. I surprised my family with the quick trip to Paris from London so the visit was mostly unexpected. We last visited Paris in December of 2019, and our daughter was five at the time but loved seeing it and has grown her affection over time.
