In charge of an icon: A chat with the Eiffel Tower's director
This week we scale the Eiffel Tower with its managing director Patrick Branco-Ruivo.
What are his tips for visiting? His favourite view? And what would he ask if he had Gustave Eiffel himself on the telephone?
Join us on this exciting opportunity to explore one of the world's most iconic landmarks with the maestro behind it all. And hang around - we'll get some exclusive access to the underground section at the end.
