The Eiffel Tower's winter terrace for Christmas 2024 with a view over Paris - final days

Christmas markets in the Tuileries, Notre-Dame and Saint-Germain-des-Prés are already lighting up the capital, but wait a minute... The real star of the festive season is about to take center stage: the Eiffel Tower, of course! From November 29, 2024 to January 5, 2025, the Parisian icon will don its finest winter coat to transport you to a magical world 57 meters above ground.

Rendezvous on the second floor of the monument, transformed into a veritable Christmas terrace for the occasion. Fir trees, garlands of lights, a transparent dome in the Scandinavian spirit and a cosy atmosphere to match: everything you need for a magical break with a breathtaking view of the City of Light.

And what better way to complete the experience than with a hot chocolate in one hand, and a crêpe or waffle in the other? Oh, and don't miss tartiflette, the undisputed star of winter, or hot drinks with a Christmas flavour, such as flavoured chai latte or apple-ginger toddy. In short, a prime spot to treat your taste buds while (comfortably) soaring to new heights.

And the icing on the cake: Santa Claus himself has added the Eiffel Tower to his busy calendar! He'll be appearing on Wednesdays and weekends from December 7, then every day just before Christmas, from December 21 to 24. There will even be a themed photocall to immortalize this magical moment. Get ready to flash your best smiles!
