Eiffel Tower Lights Show

[Princess Clayre]

Just wondering what time the lights show on the Eiffel Tower runs in February? When we were there in the summer we didn't get to see them, as it was too light.

We thought we might catch the RER into Paris to see them. Either that or possibly do the city light tour that Disneyland Paris run in the evenings.

Many Thanks,
Clayre

IIRC it's on the hour every hour after dark. The sparkle show lasts about 10 minutes. It's absolutely lovely!

It's every hour after nightfall until 2.00 am in summer and until 1.00 in winter

Last 10 minutes and I never get tired of watching it

Thank-you both.

So if sunset for our dates in February is predicted at 6.09pm, should we aim to be there for 7pm? Do you think it will be totally dark by then or go for 8pm to play it safe?

I'd go for 8.

They are pretty anytime but when it's really dark they are a lot more effective

You could always go before and have a drink on the Trocadero side, it's pricey but you get an amazing view.
