Can you see Eiffel Tower from airport?

Of course you can! Roissy (CDG) is about 23km from Paris so, if the weather is clear, you will definitely see the tower, provided you are seating on the left side of the plane. I have done a lot of travel from CDG and always reserve a window seat on the left side (A) just for the pleasure of that gorgeous view.

One of the best spots to view the Eiffel Tower is from Rue de l'Université and Rue de Buenos Aires. Both are located next to the tower on opposite sides, these streets offer a stunning view of the tower, and is a great place to take photos.

The peak experience is halfway down. By all means, go to the top if you have the time (skip it if your schedule's tight). But I prefer to linger on the second floor: For me, the best views are from this middle level — high enough to see all of Paris, but low enough to pick out distinguishing landmarks.

I wouldn't attempt going into Paris unless you had a minimum of a five-hour layover, and even then your time in Paris would be very brief. Don't attempt a trip into Paris if you have less than that.

While the Tower has a total of 1,665 steps from the ground to the top, you can only climb 674 of them, from the ground to the second floor (327, then 347 steps). You cannot take the stairs all the way to the top from the second floor, as this section is not open to the public for safety reasons.
