Beggars / Aggressive Vendors: Effiel Tower

  • The Effiel Tower is nice to look at from a distance and the view from the top is fabulous, once you can wade knee deep through all the hawkers trying to sell cheap copies of tower and other questionable objects. If you have no intention of actually going up the tower, view it from a distance so as not to be bothered by these people. There are regular police patrols that move the hawkers on but not for very long! If you really must go to the base of the tower, you better get used to saying 'no thankyou' a lot (until you get so fed up with it and your language turns slightly more colourful!)

  • On a different point if, like me, you come from a country where the use of a public toilet is free, please be warned that the vast majority of the toilets that we came across required entrance with a coin. When we went, it was between 2 to 3 francs but I do not know how this has changed since the advent of the euro. Save any change you get and it will let you to concentrate on the sights, rather than your bowels!!
