Daredevil tourists with a head for heights have a new way to enjoy the Eiffel Tower’s stunning views.
Paris’ top attraction officially unveiled a new glass floor on Monday as part of a £24m refit that allows visitors to feel as if they are walking on air nearly 200 feet above ground.
Stephen Laine, a 48-year-old British tourist visiting with his wife and four young children, said: ‘It's an incredible feeling.

It's an innovative development which will maintain the tower as one of the most fantastic attractions in the world,' said a member of her staff.

The Tower symbolises Paris and is famous everywhere - it is a great success story for the city, and for France.'
Built as an entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, the iron lattice edifice, named after engineer Gustav Eiffel, whose company built the tower, was supposed to be dismantled in 1909.
But it is now the most popular paid-for tourist attraction in the world, attracting almost seven million visitors last year alone.

Because of massive queues to the top of the 1,060-ft tower, many visitors only get as far as the first floor.
Now they can all feel as if they are suspended in air, as they look out across the centre of the city, and the suburbs beyond.
