Took the stairs up the Eiffel Tower. By the first platform I thought my fear of heights had gotten the better of me - but one beer later I took another flight to the second platform - which is as far as the steps go. While the view of Paris is stunning, the building itself really is a masterpiece of functioncal ingenuity and transparent elegance. Certainly one of my favourite pieces of architecture - maybe even my favourite. (And getting back down the stairs was a breeze...) Pictures here.
