Our guide was brilliant....Natilie... But the meeting procedure and meeting .place was questionable .. I must have asked atleast 5 or 6 person s around the tower...and none had heard of the given address or Indeed of Crown Tours . And when I actually found the place..it was dark and hardly noticeable..with the tiny flag type poster ....which could not be seen while looking fir the tour meeting place I nearly.missed the tour..as after 1 hour asking about Crown Tours and looking fir the meeting place....I was about to give up. But the people working for Crown Tours ..once found...we're fabulous..and the Tour itse6 was fantastic

the complete trip was amazing. I booked the Eiffel Tower excursion through them up to the summit, and the entire experience was absolutely amazing! Everything was well-organized from start to finish. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history of the Eiffel Tower come alive. Skip-the-line access saved so much time, and the views from the summit were breathtaking — truly unforgettable. I felt safe and well taken care of throughout the tour. It was a smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free experience that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Paris — it’s a must-do and totally worth it!

Salomé, polite and cheerful, wanted to get to know us a little by knowing where we were from. She then explained the different stages of the visit. She was concerned about our safety: a couple with walking sticks, warning us about the itinerant vendors at the entrance to the site, and the fraudulent women asking for money for their supposedly sick children. The great advantage of a guided tour is the history of the building and the area, and of Gustave Eiffel himself, as well as the fact that you can skip the queue and go straight to the elevator door.

    • Indulge your senses with "Yellow Curve," Kelly's inaugural expansive floor painting, making its European debut after its inception in 1990.

    The guide was very nice but I think it's a shame that being in France and being French, we were given a tour in English !!!!!!! There's something not quite right !!!!!! Fortunately, English is not a problem for me, but my grandchildren went for a walk and I was the guide for them.............

    Step into the realm of one of the 20th century's most influential artists at the Fondation Louis Vuitton's "Ellsworth Kelly – Shapes and Colors, 1949–2015" exhibition. Marking Kelly's centenary, this is France's premier comprehensive display of his work, featuring over 100 pieces. A must-see for art aficionados!

    The exhibition traces Kelly's exploration of shape, color, line, and space through key works from pivotal periods in his career. Spanning two floors, the collection showcases a variety of pieces that highlight the apparent simplicity yet profound complexity of Kelly's artistic expression. Notable among them is Yellow Curve (1990), Kelly's groundbreaking large-scale floor painting, making its European debut since its creation in 1990.
