You are now able to zipline for free out of the Eiffel Tower

Olivia Hayes

This looks terrifying… but also extremely fun.

If you’re a bit of a thrill seeker and heading to Paris then you have to check out the zipline from the Eiffel Tower which is being promoted by the French mineral water brand Perrier, in order to celebrate the French Open tennis tournament.

Weird flex, but OK.

If you’ve been to Paris before then you’ll know one of the most beautiful places to sit underneath is the Eiffel Tower. The world goes by as you stare in awe of the magnificent structure… but imagine being tied to a rope and jumping off it?

You’ll have to been in the city over the next few days if you want to try it though, as this “once in a lifetime opportunity”  is only open until Sunday.

You can zipline off the tower for free, but it’s not a free-for-all – you will be chosen through an online draw on social media. There will be 260 flights in total which will begin from the balcony of the Eiffel Tower and end just outside the 18th century military complex of École Militaire.
