Among other aristocratic and beautiful areas of Paris, the seventh arrondissement of the capital of France stands out (there are 20 of them). It houses, for example, the Bourbon Palace, the Rodin Museum, the Orsay Gallery, the Military School, which the Emperor Napoleon graduated from, and the Cathedral of the Invalides, in which he was buried. Finally, it is in the seventh arrondissement that the Champ de Mars and the Eiffel Tower, which has been standing for almost 130 years, are located. Finding it is easy, even without a detailed map.
Iron lady
The metal structure, which the architect himself, Gustave Eiffel, called the "300-meter tower", was being erected for the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889. It was planned to rid the indignant townspeople of her in two decades. The tower, which received the name of the creator himself, was amnestied solely because of the prudently installed Eiffel at the top of the radio antennas. It is scary to imagine how many tens of millions of tourists would be looking for something else in Paris, bypassing the Champ de Mars and the Iron Lady.
All around the water
Water will be an excellent reference point for those wishing to find the tower. After all, the Seine River flows very close by, which is separated from the tower only by the Embankment Branly, and opposite Jena is located. So if you really want to look at the creation of the engineer Gustave, you can even from the deck of a ship or from a boat.
The surest way not to pass or drive past the tower in the north-west of the Champ de Mars is, of course, to purchase a tourist voucher. The advantage of an organized tour, for example, is that there is no need to buy tickets in person and think about the choice of transport. Usually tourists are brought by bus to the right bank of the Seine. It is here that the observation deck is located, from which a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower opens. And only then they lead to the tower elevators.
By signs
However, it will not be a big problem for single tourists to get to the ticket offices and the first floor of the symbol of Paris. Not only taxis (stop at Trocadero Square) go to the Champ de Mars, but also several underground trains. If you go by the city metro, then you should again get off at the Trocadero (lines six and nine) or at the Bir Hekim station (line six).
But if in the first case you first get to the site where the tourist buses come and where you can shoot plenty, then in the second you will immediately find yourself on the embankment leading to the tower. In an extreme situation, at all metro stations there are schemes and signs that are very understandable even for foreigners, so it is almost impossible to get lost.
In addition to the metro itself, there is also a RER in Paris. This is a kind of hybrid of a metro train and a suburban train. You need to leave the RER at the stop, understandable and without translation: "Champ de Mars - Eiffel Tower". Finally, the last option is to walk with your own feet. In particular, from the Champs Elysees, which almost any adult Parisian will always show, to the tower about 25-30 minutes walk at a leisurely pace.
