Paris Museum Pass

Much better value! No need for one for kids under 18 as they are free anyway. http://en.parismuseumpass.com/ 48 €

Eiffel Tower

The two best stations to arrive at for a pre-ascent photo (or selfie) are Trocadéro and Bir-Hakeim. The former is by far the most popular and arriving any later than 9AM during the summer means large crowds of tourists and salesmen hocking cheap souvenirs. The latter, which is at the bridge made famous by movies like Last Tango in Paris and Inception, offers stunning views over the Seine.
