\"\"If you’re considering a French course in Paris<\/a>, just listen to a Parisian born and raised!<\/p>\n

I had not\u00a0gone up\u00a0the Eiffel Tower since I was 6, and my goddaughter, who came to Paris\u00a0for the first time during the\u00a0Christmas\u00a0holidays, asked me to take her.<\/p>\n

The Eiffel Tower is always popular. The day we went, although the weather was not very good (it was so windy that they had to close the top floor), there were still plenty of people queuing to catch the lifts.<\/p>\n

Even\u00a0from the 2nd floor,\u00a0there are\u00a0breathtaking views<\/a> over Paris.\u00a0You can see\u00a0the\u00a0River Seine and the\u00a0bateaux-mouches pleasure boats, Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe and Montmartre hill with its Basilica of Sacr\u00e9 Coeur.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If it’s your first time in Paris, I would definitely recommend going to the Eiffel Tower. There might be a queue for the lift, but the more adventurous among you can walk up the stairs to the second floor. It’s not as bad as it sounds and the views are spectacular.<\/p>\n

\"\"One of the best times of year to visit the Eiffel Tower is over Christmas and New Year. In 2004, they opened an\u00a0ice-rink on the second floor, and last year it was a labyrinth. The Eiffel Tower is so amazing from the outside, that it\u00a0adds value to apartments overlooking it. When it\u2019s dark, whatever the season, it sparkles<\/a> for about 10 minutes every hour, and it really looks like a jewel!<\/p>\n

The Eiffel tower is located between the Trocadero Theatre (where you can see several merry-go-rounds and roller-skaters) and the Military School. In the Champ de Mars, the former parade ground that\u00a0separates the Eiffel tower from the Military School, there are no roller skaters but a lot of children and young people playing basket-ball, people having picnics and locals walking their dogs.<\/p>\n

You might even spot some celebrities around the Eiffel Tower, as there’s a bilingual school nearby where many of them send their children. The area is quite posh, but very\u00a0vibrant, with many caf\u00e9s and restaurants, shops in the rue du Commerce, and antique dealers in the Swiss village.<\/p>\n

So, my advice to you is don’t miss a visit to the Eiffel Tower during your course – you must have heard a lot about the tower already, and you will certainly not be disappointed!<\/p>\n
