Good to know
The Eiffel Tower does not have a picnic area. If you are a little hungry, you can eat at the buffets, bars and restaurants at all levels and for all budgets! A reasonable amount of food and drink is allowed (left to the discretion of the reception staff) but please note that glass bottles, metal cans and cutlery (knives, forks, spoons) are not allowed inside the monument.
We recommend you to check our visiting rules to find out what items are prohibited.
For a quick and tasty break, head to the takeaway food shops on the esplanade. A wide choice of sweet and salty dishes, together with a cold or hot drink, is available. Ideal for making sure you don't miss out on the Eiffel Tower experience, enjoy a meal on the go whenever you like, while taking in an unrivalled view of Paris!
The buffets offer you a moment of relaxation at any time during your visit, on the 2nd, 1st and on the esplanade and will complete your visit. In spacious and comfortable places, various food points are available with a vast choice of salty or sweet dishes that will satisfy everyone!
Throughout your visit, you will find many shops and you will be able to indulge yourself with an exceptional souvenir on the theme of Paris and the Eiffel Tower. Perfect to keep in memory your exceptional day spent next to the Iron Lady! Souvenir shops are available from the esplanade to the 2nd floor. Don't miss the largest one on the 1st floor, inside the Ferrié pavilion.
Your visits
There are 2 entrances in the gardens to reach the Eiffel Tower’s esplanade: the entrance 1 (South) and the entrance 2 (East), which does give you a chance to explore the recently landscaped gardens. You will pass through the first security checks at these entrances. Tip: to save some time, please prefer the entrance 2 (East) in the gardens, which is often less crowded.
In order to access the elevator, after the security check, please go with your clients and e-tickets to the EAST or WEST pillar. The group will need to have the tickets legibly printed (1 ticket per page) on A4 format, with the complete barcode (not reduced).
Access the « visitors with tickets » entrance, marked with a green flag, at the latest at the time indicated on the ticket to get to the ticket check point. The access to this point is granted in the order of arrival of the whole group in possession of a ticket for the current time slot.
Because of the Eiffel Tower structure, visits need to start by the highest level. On the way down, we recommend you to visit the lower floors, giving you the opportunity to benefit from historical and cultural contents on our Monument. The 1st floor in particular will allow you to discover our glass floor as well as the cultural path and a large souvenir shop.
Learning materials are available for all primary school classes and subjects. These documents provide historical info as well as exercises relating to the Eiffel Tower (the life and work of Gustave Eiffel, the World’s Fair, building the monument, the Tower and the advent of telecommunications, the Tower and art, etc.).
The exercises provided in the learning materials are suitable for the subjects studied in primary school:

Educational activity books to download or print
The Eiffel Tower invites you to pick up activity books before or during your visit. Two books from the “Minus” series are available at the elevator lobbies and at the bottom of the staircases: they allow young visitors to learn more about the monument while having fun.
