Elevators & Stairs ~ Up and Down the Tower


Even though Crystals have penetrated the stair wells, all in all, the stairs and elevators of the Eiffel Tower are seemingly unaffected.

However, since the Star Sapphire Ring made its home on the Tower's top floor there have apparently been sighting of an Orange Glowing Figure making is way through the Tower. Larfleeze has been prowling the Tower for Treasures it seems...

There are three ways around the Eiffel Tower:
The Stairs: Ground Floor ~ 2nd Floor
Minimum Travel Time to 1st Floor: 4 Posts per Person
Minimum Travel Time to 2nd Floor: 6 Posts per Person
The stair start at the ground floor and up to the 2nd Floor at around 115m. This staircase consists of 704 steps. The view is famous for it's seemingly endless depiction of Paris.

Interesting fact: Did you know that originally it was a spiral staircase which linked the second floor to the top? Gustave Eiffel would use it to reach the office that he‘d set up for himself! As it had become obsolete, the staircase was taken down in 1983.


The Lifts: Ground Floor ~ 2nd Floor
Minimum Travel Time to 1st Floor: 3 Posts per Person
Minimum Travel Time to 2nd Floor: 5 Posts per Person
There are three lifts going from the ground floor, beginning in the North, East and West pillars. They can stop at the 1st or 2nd Floor but not the top. 2 of the lifts are open design but the others are closed due to safety or maintenance precautions. These lifts are a lot bigger than the ones from the 2nd Floor to the Top in order to ferry large amounts of tourists up and down whilst lowering queues.

The Lifts: 2nd Floor ~ 3rd Floor:
Minimum Travel Time: 2 Posts per person
In order to get to the top floor, one must change lifts on the 2nd floor where there are lifts to the top floor at a huge 276m. Due to the narrowness of the Towers Upper Level, this elevator is smaller than the previous set. It is still bigger than your average elevator though.


*= Please use the coding below in your posts so we can keep track of you. You may still be interrupted from leaving should you try and exit the stair well though, please be patient and vigilant. Take the necessary amount of time to get to and from where you need to go.

He climbed on the stairs and twisted body round the railings and started to find his away around the interior of the tower, his agility aiding him on his journey to the top of the national icon, now covered in purple crystals, as if it was graffiti shocking the whole of France and the world. He leaped through the air and hung on to each rung on the tower legs grinning and watching the staircases for whoever might want to take what was rightfully his.

                                                                  He stopped, hearing people underneath and smelling perfume from a distance away underneath the alien. He lie in wait, for the thieves and hung from a rung upside down staring at the stairs vigilantly. No one was going to get past the conduit of Avarice.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.The ring was on it's way to the next floor down when it detected a being in the stairwell. The ring recognized the orange lantern, and knew what it meant. Avarice. It didn't matter where the Orange had been before, the ring wasn't taking any chances. It opened a wormhole behind Larfleeze and sucked him through before he could try to steal it. The wormhole would drop Larfleeze back on Okaara, far away from this planet. Once he was through, the hole closed and the ring continued on.
