In addition to a stunning observation deck, the second floor is also home to the Eiffel Tower's Michelin star Le Jules Verne restaurant.
Since 2019, the Eiffel Tower has completely revisited its food and drinks offer, whether for dining at a table or on the go. The two “flagships” of its eateries are, of course, its restaurants: Le Jules Verne, situated on the second floor, and Madame Brasserie on the first.
We recommend taking the stairs to the second floor because the queue to get on the elevator is usually 2-3 hours long. The stairs offer breathtaking views of the city besides giving you complete freedom and control over your ascend. You can take small breaks from climbing and enjoy the gorgeous views of Paris.
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).
There are free toilets on all floors of the Tower (1st, 2nd and the top) as well as on the parvis. There are baby changing facilities on all floors (parvis, 1st, 2nd) apart from the top of the Tower.
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.
For visitors looking to eat on the go, delicious buffets offer sweet and savory snacks and drinks on the esplanade and on the first and second floors. This mouth-watering offer is complemented by the Pierre Hermé macaron bar on the second floor and the champagne bar at the top.
Tipping in France is not mandatory. Even though it is always appreciated, it's up to the customers to decide if they want to tip or not. Unlike other countries, the price of the service is included in the total cost of the bill. You will never be asked to tip, but it's common to leave one if the service was good.
