Mid-December on the Eiffel Tower! |
For winter 2006/2007, the Eiffel Tower has new installation in store for its visitors.
A Spectacular Sight to See: an Upside-Down Christmas Tree
One immense cone-shaped light – 20 meters high – is to be suspended between the 2nd and first floors of the Eiffel Tower. This brightly shining, symbolic Christmas tree will be attached at the bottom so that the top hangs down.
The Magic, Moving Labyrinth on the First Floor
The first level of the Eiffel Tower is going to welcome an interactive labyrinth for the amusement of all. Meandering in and out of a “forest” of pine trees spread out over 80 meters (262 feet), playful lighting and audible sounds such as walking in the snow or breaking branches will follow the visitors, with comic guests circulating and surprising each one all along their magical promenade.
The labyrinth will be open every day from 10 am until closing. Access is free to all Eiffel Tower visitors.
The Eiffel Tower is open daily from 9:30 am to 11:45 pm in winter (Last elevator up is at 11 pm).
2006 Entrance Fees
Elevator to the 1st floor: Adults: 4.20€ / Children under 12: 2.30€
Stairs (1st & 2nd floors) open from 9:30 am to 6 pm: 3.80€. Under 25: 3€

Roller Skating Ramp on the 1st Floor of the Eiffel Tower! |
Saturday 18, Sunday 19, Monday 20, November 2006
from 10am to 12noon and from 1pm to 7pm (6pm on Mon)
Learn to skate 57 meters above Paris…
A real skaters’ ramp, 15 meters long by 7.5 meters wide, will be installed on the first level of the Eiffel Tower, overlooking the Champ de Mars, for three days.
State-licensed skaters will be on hand to assist young and old, from 7 to 77 years old, in learning to skate inline. The champion team Taïg Khris, twice world champions, will demonstrate the moves.
… free to all visiting the Tower
All visitors to the Eiffel Tower will be admitted free of charge with their Eiffel Tower entrance tickets. You can reach the ramp either by the elevators or the stairs.
The stairs to the first floor represent 345 steps, a great way to warm-up before skating (skates are provided on site), especially for young adults less than 25 years old who can take advantage of the special price (3€).
World champions perform on the Eiffel Tower!
Monday, November 20th at 7:30 pm, Taïg Khris, Ambassador of the association Voix de l’Enfant, will show the spectators what champion skating is all about. Before, at 6:30 pm, Yoggy is going to attempt to beat his own world record in going up the Tower stairs on a monocycle, also organized by the association la Voix de l’Enfant that is celebrating 25 years of events on the Eiffel Tower.
