...THanks as ever for the photo and the news, Eric. <br /><br />Kiki - The strategy that worked for me: I went off season on the slowest time and day of the week, bought my ticket in line and it took about 15 mins. <br /><br />Michael, I agree with no luggage below the tower - sounds like an invitation for a bomb to go off. Otherwise, it sounds like a dream!!carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707252035543174470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-66586532378256199712012-06-16T23:41:50.639+02:002012-06-16T23:41:50.639+02:00@Kiki "I feel often quite 'harassed' ...@Kiki "I feel often quite 'harassed' by all the mess, the sellers, the beggars etc who approach everybody on two feet.

It's that way at every tourist spot. I got so fed up in Milan I yelled at one guy to go away. Can't blame people for trying to make a euro, I suppose. It will be interesting to see what happens with the new Eiffel Tower plans.jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-6281446934176753572012-06-16T18:07:57.079+02:002012-06-16T18:07:57.079+02:00Eric, Thank you for the breaking news and the link...Eric, Thank you for the breaking news and the link to the visitor numbers.

I now suggest to everybody to take the ultra fast and comfy elevator of la Tour Montparnasse where you can SEE the Eiffel Tower and much more - and it's cheaper too.<br />I feel often quite 'harassed' by all the mess, the sellers, the beggars etc who approach everybody on two feet.
