I was wondering if it was possible to avoid some of the lines at the Eiffel tour if you make a reservation at one of the restaurants there? Does it make a difference in how many lines you avoid if the reservation is at Altitude 95 or Jules Verne (it sounds like there is definitely a difference in the price of the meal.) Do you still have to wait in line to go all the way to the top of the tower? Is there an attendant who you tell that you have a restaurant reservation? Thank you in advance!

If you eat at Jules Verne, it has its own entrance and elevator under the yellow canopy. You go to the top, eat your fabulous meal, and then can sit in the bar and look at the view and go outside and walk around. There is an attendant at the entrance at the bottom who keeps track of reservations and there is no waiting in line. I am not sure about Altitude 95-I think you have to wait in line for it. Jules Verne is expensive, but not overly so, especially if you don%26#39;t order a bottle of wine.

these two restaurants are really differents : Jules Verne is first class and Altitude 95 is okay, but food not really special.
Meal at Jules Verne is maybe 100 euros/ pax with no wine. At Altitude, maybe 30 : you can go only for drink or snack.

I am sure you have to take the same lift as the people in line for the tower, if you go to the Altitude 95, but if you go in the evening you are likely to have less people in line than if you go for lunch. I took a group there, they had sold us some tickets of the tower in advance at a reduced price (not sure if this is an option just for groups) and then we took a lift with everybody else.

We went to Altitude 95, and it does have a separate elevator, so you get to skip the line. There is a kiosk where you go to confirm your reservation. You still have to pay for a ticket, but they give you one that says Altitude 95 on it, you show it to an attendant, and then you go to a different elevator than the the rest of the masses waiting to go up. You do have to wait in line to get to the other levels of the Tower, but you can buy tickets to the next level from machines, so you still don%26#39;t have to wait in lines for tickets, just for the elevators. We went on a Saturday night in May, and the waits were not too long--maybe 10 minutes for each level. But, the lines on the ground looked pretty long.

Well that must be a new organisation because two years ago when i took my group there they told me there was no way to escape the line...Better this way!
