Headline : Restaurant At The Top Of The Eiffel Tower Lets You Dine In Style With Panoramic Views Of Paris
Caption : A lavish restaurant at the top of the Eiffel Tower has been given a makeover in celebration of the 130th birthday of the Parisian landmark.

The second-level Le Jules Verne restaurant has taken on new Michelin-star chefs Frédéric Anton and Thierry Marx to try to make their mark on the revamped establishment.

Inspired by the author of Around the World in Eighty Days and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the restaurant - which is 140 feet above the ground - has been completely overhauled by architect and interior designer Aline Asmar d’Amman, founder of Culture In Architecture.

Fusing timeless French elegance with contemporary design, the restaurant offers spectacular views of Paris in a warm and light-filled setting.

Staying true to the industrial aesthetic of the tower, Asmar d'Amman highlights the metal framework of the Iron Lady and uses silver, blue and green, along with shades of grey to reflect the sky and river Seine that flows through Paris, with black, gold and silver accents highlighting the cobblestone streets below.

The restaurant itself is divided into three main spaces and features milky white and silvery grey velvet benches inspired by those once owned by Gustave Eiffel, the man who once lived in the tower's highest room.

Elsewhere there are French oak tabletops decorated with bronze candleholders, overhead lighting fixtures reminiscent of wheels and painted screens in tribute to fashion designer Jeanne Lanvin and artist Sonia Delaunay.

There's also a private saloon hidden under the restaurant, an invitation-only chef's table in the kitchen featuring contemporary artwork and an array of sculptures and artwork welcoming guests at the ground floor entrance.
