Hi over there,
I am Tim Fredriksson from Sweden. Me and my family are planing to go to Paris this Spring. The trip will of course not be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower!

However, my neighbour, Olof Andersson, strongly recommend us to bring umbrellas. According to Olof, we could arrive to the Eiffel Tower when a bunch of Asian tourists are at the top. Since the Asian tourists love to spit out in the air we at the ground will be all covered in Asian spit rain if we don’t have umbrellas.

Is this really true? And is it possible to buy umbrellas at the tower?

Best regards,
Tim Fredriksson with family

Dear Sir,
We thank you for your interest in the Eiffel Tower.

We inform you that, fortunately, you will need umbrellas only if it rains a regular rain.


Best Regards,
