Is Eiffel Tower visible from CDG?

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.

Yes. Uber is definitely a safe option in France. I've always loved the fact that the Uber App tracks everything for you, including license plate numbers. Plus, if you don't speak French, there isn't that worry about language barriers, as everything is booked in the App.
