Great place to walk around. Highly recommend getting a cheap sandwich from Paul's and a giant macaroon to have for lunch in the Luxemburg gardens More

It is a pity to say but the 56 floor is under reconstruction now. In spite of it the tourist can look at the city from the top of the Tour. The area on the top is not very big but the view is unforgettable and (what is important) there is no awful queue to lift there! More
