And what about the Eiffel tower and Versailles ?
Eiffel tower tickets are the hardest thing to find. When you’re looking, settle for a place lower than the summit if you have to, and do not recoil from the high price. Other rooftops with easier access are the towers of Notre Dame, and the Montparnasse tower.
When it comes to Versailles, it’s a bit far out, and it can require a lot of time. So save Versailles for Day 4+.
