Take a look around the luxury apartment INSIDE the Eiffel Tower… almost 200ft above the ground
The holiday flat is FREE to stay in for four lucky groups...and is open for tours and watching the Euros too
MILLIONS of people visit the Eiffel Tower every year but now lucky holiday makers, romantics and football fans have the opportunity to sleep INSIDE it.
The Paris landmark’s very first luxury apartment, which sits 187 ft above the Champ de Mars fan zone, was launched on Friday – the first night of Euro 2016.
The ‘pop-up’ flat sleeps six, and its guests will make history by being the first people EVER to sleep inside Paris’ iconic tower.
Created in less than two days, the converted former office space will host four groups of travel company HomeAway’s competition winners during the Euro tournament.
Each sleepover winner has to be from a different European country.
The amazing 2,000 square foot space, created by designer Benoit Leleu, incorporates an urban greenhouse, two bedrooms and an open plan living area.
The flat has definitely been designed with football fans in mind.
There is a flat screen TV to watch matches on, displays of famous shirts and trophies, as well as a football table for friends to create their own games.
Matches will also be screened there throughout the football tournament, while there is a small kitchen to make the guests feel more at home.
HomeAway’s chief marketing officer Mariano Dima said: “We can’t wait to share the apartment that floats 57 metres above Paris with the lucky overnight winners, thousands of soccer fans, tourists, and special guests who are invited to enjoy it as well.”

The company will also be hosting a Yoga Morning, a Love Day with special guests including American TV personalities Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shaun Booth of The Bachelor fame and a Kids Day in the space – which overlooks the Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Palais and the Seine.
More than 150,000 people entered the competition and three lucky winners have already been announced, including one Michelle S from Essex.
They will each stay in the apartment for one night, on four dates: June 23, June 28, July 4 and July 8 – before enjoying three more days at a luxurious HomeAway rental property.
HomeAway is based in Austin, Texas, and is part of the Expedia group.
