Do you have to book the champagne bar at Eiffel Tower?

Reservations cannot be made for the Champagne bar. It is open every day and is generally opened from 10.30am to 10.45pm (or 11.30pm during the high season in summer).



Yes, advance booking is highly recommended and essentially required for the Champagne Bar at the Eiffel Tower.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you need to know:

1. Which Champagne Bar?

There are two champagne bars on the Eiffel Tower: Le Bar à Champagne (The Top): Located on the summit (3rd floor), 276 meters up. This is a small, elegant pop-up-style bar. Le Bar à Champagne (Second Floor): Located on the second floor, 116 meters up. This one is larger and has both indoor and outdoor terrace seating.

Booking is crucial for both, but the process differs.

2. Booking Process & Key Details

For the Summit Bar (Top)

  • Access: You must already have a ticket or reservation to access the summit level.
  • Booking: You cannot book the summit bar separately in advance. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis for summit visitors.
  • Strategy: Due to its small size, go there immediately upon reaching the summit to secure a spot, especially at sunset or in the evening.

For the Second Floor Bar

  • Access: You need a second-floor ticket or a summit ticket (which includes the second floor).
  • Booking (Highly Recommended): You can reserve a table in advance for the outdoor terrace section. This is the best way to guarantee a spot with a view.
    • How to Book: Make reservations directly through the official Eiffel Tower website ([www.toure

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 recommend at least four levels to your tower to make sure it looks substantial enough. This would mean your tower is made of 30 glasses total (bottom level will have 16 glasses, next level will have 9 glasses, next level will have 4 glasses, top level will have 1 glass).

As the tower rises, the squares of coupes will get smaller. Pop open a bottle of bubbly, and slowly pour it into the coupe at the top of the tower; Champagne will overflow into the glasses below, filling each coupe.

Visiting time to the Eiffel Tower is not limited. However we recommend that you plan sufficient visiting time at the end of the evening (i.e. around 1 1/2 hours for a visit to the 2nd floor and 1st floor and 2 1/2 hours for a full visit up to the top).
