An evening visit in Autumn to the Eiffel Tower was magical! There were lines but they were short and fast moving.

From the security check to the ticket booth, up the tower on the elevator was less than an hour. I went to the second level and my parents went to the top. I was surprised that they didn't have any issues moving about on their own, I have vertigo, the reason I didn't go to the top.

The views were spectacular even on the second level. Nearby the tower, near the river there is a carousel worth seeing.

Paris is actually home to many vintage carousels, do some research before traveling.

Highly recommend an evening visit to the area as the tower lights up with a twinkling show on the hour. Simply mesmerizing...
