It is currently the most popular tourist attraction in Paris. There are three observation terraces from which you can admire the city panorama.
The building was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution and be a showcase of the technical thought genius of the late 19th century.

The two lower viewing terraces are accessible by stairs, the highest, located just below the top, only by a fast elevator. In the evening the tower is illuminated.
