I have been doing a lot of research about France lately! For the first few days of our trip, we will be in France. I have found many helpful resources, and multiple shortcuts that will help us skip lines, and make the most of our 3 days in Paris. The first tip that I found, is how to skip lines at the Eiffel Tower. If tickets are sold out online, most people wait in line for 1-3 hours to get tickets to the top. However, if you are not afraid to walk a little, you can take the stairs to the second level, then take the elevator to the top. The ticket line is much shorter to take the stairs, and you get to visit the little shops that you would miss if you took the elevator!
