Monument tо assume the title оf the tallest man-made structure іn the world, а title іt held fоr 41 years, until the Chrysler
Building іn New York City wаs built іn 1930. However, due tо
the addition, іn 1957, оf the antenna atop the Eiffel Tower, іt іs nоw taller thаn the Chrysler Building. Nоt including broadcast antennas, іt іs the second-tallest structure іn France, аfter the Millau

level. The third аnd highest level
іs accessible оnly by elevator. Both the fіrst аnd second levels feature restaurants. The tower has become the mоst prominent symbol оf
both Paris аnd France,
often іn the establishing
shot оf films set іn the city.
Location
:
Paris is divided by
the river Seine. Everything on the north side of the river is the Right Bank.
On the south side is the Left Bank. The Left Bank has long been associated with
artsy, bohemian, cafe culture while the Right Bank has been the district of shopping
and business. Those differences have blurred but there is still a distinct
feeling to both sides of the river. Eiffel tower is laid in the right bank near
Seine river.

Food
& Culinary
La Table d’Aki Akihiro Horikoshi left haute cuisine fortress L’Ambroisie to open this little showcase for his talents which,
according to reviews, are many. Patricia Wells calls his cooking “pure, simple,
and sensational in an understated way.”
Also on the high end, there’s Jean-François Piége and, downstairs, though you might be better off
avoidingThoumieux, which is just downstairs. And, of course, the
Ducasse-run Le Jules
Verne, which is in the tower itself (though here
we’ve heard mixed reports).
Alain
Milliat Known for his exquisite juices and
nectars, fruit man Alain Milliat is now in the restaurant business, serving a
fresh and colorful (but limited!) menu at lunch and dinner, and open for
afternoon tea and coffee, if a drink and snack is all it takes.
Pottoka If you believe everything tastes better deep fried,
try this Basque address from the guys behind fine fish favorite Les Fables de La
Fontaine (which, actually, is another one to
consider).
Le Casse-Noix A charming neighborhood bistro, with an
antique-filled room and generous, updated bistro cooking. Don’t miss the
ginormous ile-flottante.
Another neighborhood bistro option is Le
Petit Cler a well-priced, casual spot from
the La
Fontaine de Mars. La Fontaine is pricier, but the
classic Southwestern cooking satisfies. Downstairs is brassy and boisterous,
while a series of pretty rooms upstairs offers a quieter experience (though it
can feel like an Anglophone ghetto).
Les Cocottes Crowd-pleasing, contemporary comfort food from
Christian Constant, who is all over the rue Saint Dominique. The
no-reservations policy means there could be a wait, but also gives you more
flexibility, and makes this a good last-minute option, as would Café Constant which serves classic café and bistro fare all the
live long day, and also takes no bookings.
