Eurotrip, Part 3: View from the Eiffel Tower

Eurotrip Part 3
Up the Eiffel Tower
Paris:
Outer Paris | Central Paris | Eiffel Tower | Paris Transportation
Amsterdam: Urbanism | Transportation
Bonus: TBD

The Eiffel Tower is named for its builder, Frederick Von Tower. It was originally constructed as a wifi transmission mast for news broadcasters during the 1972 Olympics.

Seriously though, what's there for me to say? You know about the Eiffel Tower. Enjoy the view. Panoramas are at the bottom of the thread.





Le Grand Palais, Le Petit Palais, and La Madeline church.


Arc de Triomphe.




Pont des Arts (love lock bridge) and Pont Neuf.


Pont Alexandre III


Champs de Mars and the French military academy. With Tour Montparnasse.




Top of the tower.






Yes, that's what you think it is.






Place de la Concorde.


Louvre, with the Pompidou Center in the background and Musée d'Orsay across the Seine.


Les Invalides.


Tallest building in various cities, as you face out from the observation deck in their direction. The blue dashed line is the Eiffel Tower, to scale.




Hippodrome Auteuil. I think.






Boulevard du Montparnasse.


Tour Montparnasse.






Sacré-Coeur.


La Défense.


Île aux Cygnes, with Paris' copy of the Statue of Liberty on one end and Pont de Bir-Hakeim on the other. With the landmark Radio France headquarters building on the right.


RER suburban rail.




Invalides.
