It would be doable. You can get a train directly into Paris and change. It might be a bit tight. You may not be able to go up the tower. As I said doable but I wouldn�t do it, it would feel too rushed.

I agree, doable, but wouldnt do it as to rushed, and not enough time to do the eiffeltower
Its almost 1:30hrs on the train alone.

Its like popping to Tampa from Disney World just to see the beach and then leave again without stepping foot on the sand.

The queues to go up the tower are long though and arnt The yellow festers still �protesting� each weekend ? .

It is definitely doable but personally I would not want to spend almost 3 hours on a train just to visit the eiffel tower.

Almost every trip we plan to DLP we always say we'll do a trip to Paris on one of the days but each and every time we get in the Disney bubble and then never want to leave!

I agree, either take a whole day or leave it for another time.

It is very easy to get into and around Paris and you could easily fill a whole day. But I would pre-book the Eiffel tower to avoid queues.

We loved seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up, but we�d already been up the tower earlier that day. I think I�d rather make time to go earlier and go up the tower, but if an evening visit is the only option, I imagine that it would still be a lovely experience - just much more rushed!

Alternatively you could go up the Montparnasse Tower, which is just a boring office building, but you get to see the Eiffel Tower from it! You have to pay but not as much, and there won't be long queues.

I wish we could stay an extra day now and do Paris 😂🙈 a french lady I worked with mentioned that tower she said the Eiffel Tower was lovely from it.
