An enchanted Christmas at the Eiffel Tower

The magic of Christmas and the holiday season comes alive at the Eiffel Tower! Come and enjoy a warm and unforgettable moment with your loved ones!

Enjoy the illuminated gardens and forecourt

Until early January, the gardens and forecourt beneath the Eiffel Tower will be beautifully illuminated for the holidays! At nightfall, stroll around and enjoy the truly magical atmosphere in the heart of Paris at the foot of the capital's most impressive monument.

Please note that access to the gardens and forecourt of the Eiffel Tower is free: no ticket is required to see the garden illuminations.

Take a break on the winter terrace inspired by Christmas stories

This year, for the first time, the first-floor terrace and its bubble are being transformed into an elegant library dedicated to Christmas stories. The central bar and dome will be decorated with books and magical objects.

Immerse yourself in this atmosphere and treat yourself to a gourmet break under the bubble: waffles, crepes, Christmas treats, Christmas lattes... Not to mention festive cocktails and the croque-monsieur bar!

Tip: you can book your “Paris Pétille” cocktail online with your admission ticket.
