For what it’s worth my favorite time to enjoy the Eiffel Tower is to see it twinkling at night. The sunset tour of the Seine cruise is one way to take it in. We skip the meal cruises and just enjoy the view and dinner afterwards. There are also restaurants, view towers and museums with views of the ET at night. I’ve seen it from the top of the Pompidou Museum (a distance away) and a quick google yields other suggestions (haven’t been, but some recommend Montparnasse Tower). If you are interested in a close view of the tower itself and the experience of the trip up, these ideas won’t appeal.
