We went out really early to the tower, fearing a huge turnout of crowd. We arrived and lined up for nearly 15 minutes before being admitted into lift going up the tower. The tower looked like a huge brown electric pylon with all its trusses and rivets. The colour of the lifts to the second floor and the top floor together with the other lifting mechanisms gave a contrasting feel to the tower structure.
There were two observation decks at the top. One which was one floor lower than the other had photo guides detailing the different buildings around the tower, this deck was covered with window panes and air conditioned. We went up a few flight of stairs you exit the covered observation deck to the top. The view from the top was amazing. As the day was pretty sunny and clear, the visibility from the top of the tower was really good. The other tower in the photo which looks like a featureless black block is called Montparnasse Tower.
This was the view from Montparnasse Tower, where you could see the Eiffel Tower and the other famous attractions which were too far to admire from Eiffel Tower. Notre Dame, Les Invalides, the Pantheon and the Louvre can be clearly seen from here.
The Eiffel tower consists of three different paints, with the one at the bottom the darkest brown and fairer nearer to the top of the tower. The fields in front of the tower was considerably empty considering that we arrived early in the morning. Come nightfall, throngs would crowd this field to enjoy the magnificent display of lights on the Eiffel tower which starts at 10pm. Lights lit up randomly across the tower, which gave a feel of a glittering jewel, the iconic jewel of Paris.
