Transport options from the Eiffel Tower

I have the odd feeling I am missing something, but why not take the metro back?

I have not been to Paris, but I would be surprised if there were not taxis available at such a major tourist attraction.

Sorry, not much help , but at least this post gets a bump up and perhaps someone knowledgeable will see it and help

I would probably walk back but there are many other options:

• taxi
• Uber, Chaufeur Privé, Taxify
• bus - such as 87 (which stops running at 22h00) or 69
• métro - probably #6 to #10

It has been a long time, and there is all sorts of security barriers going up at the base of the Tower now, I understand, but I can recall the doorman at the foot of the private elevator to Jules Verne used to escort you to a cab if you asked your waiter to get one for you. Rather an elegant way to top off an extravagant evening.

I always prefer taking the bus when in Paris. That way I can actually see sights while going between places. Bus #63 has a stop right at the Trocadéro, and goes right down Boulevard Saint-Germain. It is short, cheap and scenic.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm used to the subways in Chicago and do not feel safe after dark riding them. I guess I'm thinking the subways in Paris might be the same. Am I wrong? I'd like to walk back if the weather permits. Someone mentioned walking along the Seine. Again if the weather permits. Like I said we'll be there early October so hopefully the temps will be pleasant. If all else fails I like the cab or the bus options. Thanks again!

The metro in Paris is quite different from the one you are used to! It is quite safe. I spent a month there this summer and frequently rode by myself late at night after meeting friends for drinks or just wandering the city.

Anita,
Thats good to know. Thanks very much.
