La Tour Eiffel de nuit is beautiful! We saved this for the grand finale of our girls day in Paris. The metro stop was out of service so we had to do some extra walking to get there. We arrived at dusk and stood in line for about 30 minutes. It was a grand surprise when the lights started blinking all over the tower. They go off for 10 minutes every hour. We were lucky enough to see them go off twice. 
Clara has been waiting and waiting for the opportunity to see la Tour Eiffel de nuit. We promised her that when our first visitors arrived she could go with them. At the top while enjoying the view she threw her arms around me and said, "I just love you Mom! This is the best night ever!" Those words made the night perfection for me. On the walk back to the metro Clara whispered a poem she had made up while standing on la Tour Eiffel:
The Eiffel Tower at night is such a beautiful sight!
Especially when the lights are blinking
and everyone is thinking
How lucky they are to be there at night.
