Eiffel Tower stairs
 
Does anyone know how many steps there are to the first floor of the Eiffel Tower?? I can find # to the second and # to the top, but we just walked to the first floor!

Thank you but I had already researched that site and could not find the # of steps to the 1st level.

I found it! First level is 187 feet high = 345 steps. Second level is 376 feet high = 359 steps above the first level. Third level is 899 feet high = can hold 400 people at a time! Too exhausting for me! Good luck!

THANK YOU, PAM! You've made my 12 year old son happy as he keeps track of this stuff; we also climbed the tower of the Ossuaire Dauoumont in Verdun and climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe. Even after 2 weeks of foie gras and wine, I only gained 1 pound!!!
