Watch the Sunset from the Eiffel Tower

There is nothing quite like a sunset in Paris! Whether you are in Paris for a day or a week, you will want to view the sunset since it is a gorgeous and amazing sight. The soft lighting provides an ethereal look in the early evening. Golden hues over the horizon provide a romantic touch to the landscapes during this specific time of day (late afternoon until night). As the sun sets, the views from each level of the tower become even more beautiful, with the city's landmarks lighted and the Seine River reflecting the brilliant hues of sunset. Another perk is that the Eiffel Tower is decked out with beautiful lights that dazzle for five minutes on the hour every evening.

Watch the sunset while dining at one of the Eiffel Tower restaurants: Madame Brasserie, the contemporary-style brasserie on the first level that serves a seasonal menu with a focus on local ingredients, or Le Jules Verne gastronomic restaurant on the second level that serves exceptional modern French cuisine. Both restaurants' dining areas provide stunning views of the Paris skyline. You may request a window seat when making a reservation at Le Jules Verne. If you want to check out this spot for sunset in Paris, make sure to arrive a full hour before the sun is about to set so that you can prepare and have enough time to get up the lifts and walk around a bit before the big moment.
