In the movies, scenes set in Paris often show a character opening the windows and revealing a sight of the Eiffel Tower looming over the Paris rooftops in the distance. In reality, this is an almost impossible scene, and would not likely be possible in the real world. That's because almost all the buildings in Paris are the same height, so it's unlikely that an open window would allow you to see over buildings directly across the street.
However, there is one place where you can see the Eiffel Tower looming over the city—the top of the Arc de Triomphe. It's possible to climb up the famous monument at the end of the Champs Elysees. A spiral staircase leads to the top, which offers amazing views of the Eiffel Tower and the the city at large. It's a unique view and a unique experience, where climbing one famous structure offers a beautiful view of another equally (or even more) famous structure.
