Good spot to see Eiffle Tower Light Show
Is there a good spot to see the Eiffle Tower 10 minute light show & not have to go to the tower site or even the embankment. I was thinking perhaps of one of the bridges or quays.
OR: do you think we'd be missing something by not going to the area to see it lit up? We don't want to 'go up' etc. as we've done that & just want a good vantage point.

We enjoyed seeing it from Montmartre, on one of the steep stairways leading to Sacre Coeur (on what I think of as the left side of Sacre Coeur as you look at it from the Eiffel tower). Also, at the base of Sacre Coeur past the Funicular there are areas where you can see it well (and tidy little holes in the fence where people can look through with their cameras!).

If you take one of the boat tours, such as Vedettes de Pont Neuf that leaves Pont Neuf on the half-hour, you should arrive at the Tower on the hour, just as the light show begins, and the boat will stay there for a few minutes.

anywhere near or in the surroundings is a good spot...and yes, I think you would miss something by not seeing it. It's silly, it's just lights that twinkle, but it is something that made me smile!

All a matter of taste, I suppose. Here's what it looks like from the Trocadero:

From the other end of the Champs de Mars you'd be seeing the Tower against any remaining twilight.
