Eiffel tower, Paris, France

I have climbed the 704 steps of the Eiffel Tower many times. It's always worth the effort given the wonderful views when you reach the top, thankfully the last part via elevator. Paris is such a great walking city and even my children enjoy hopping from café to café. During our last visit we spent many hours in the Louvres; the boys just loved the Egyptian area and the King Tut exhibition.
