This year, the Eiffel Tower opens a new enchanted chapter: starting from November 26, its Christmas terrace becomes a true open-air fairy tale. A shimmering dome, a magical library bar, illuminated gardens, readings, gospel music, and a meeting with Santa Claus... The Iron Lady is going all out in total fairy magic.

Every winter, Paris loves to shine in its finest attire. But here, the Eiffel Tower takes it to another level, both literally and stylistically.

On the 200 m² of its first-floor terrace, the famous Iron Lady unfolds a decor inspired by fairy tales: a magical dome, lamps shaped like books that open as if by enchantment, feathers, mysterious objects… and a central bar that looks like it came straight out of an enchanted library.

You can savor your hot chocolate while gazing at the city, wrapped in an atmosphere cozier than your favorite blanket. Pure bliss.


Tales, gospel, and magic right under the bubble

And that’s not all! Your little ones can dive into the magic too: storytellers will be there on the weekends of December 27–28 and January 3–4, in French or English, to take the kids on journeys through wonderful stories. How beautiful is that...? Set up near a giant book-shaped photo booth, they will enjoy a mini tale that tells... the Tower itself.

And because Christmas without music is a bit like a tree without decorations, on Thursdays December 4, 11, 18 and Friday December 26, the Diamond Gospel group will come to make the bubble resonate with their songs.

between 6 PM and 9 PM. Just a heads up: you might leave singing Oh Happy Day all the way down the stairs.


Meeting Santa Claus and Ultra Comforting Treats

Wrap up the enchanting circle with a top-tier meeting: Santa Claus himself is setting up on the first floor on Wednesdays and weekends from December 6th to 21st, and then every day from December 22nd to 24th (10 AM to 6 PM on weekdays and until 8 PM on weekends). The perfect moment to in a storybook XXL setting.

And since every good story is better enjoyed with a snack, the terrace offers: Christmas latte, coconut hot chocolate, non-alcoholic pear-vanilla-ginger grog, waffles, crepes, goodies, plus a croque-monsieur bar and a special cocktail created for the occasion called...The Christmas Dream. What more could anyone ask for!
