"Once beneath the stars the Universe was ours
I wonder if you know
Once upon a time in your wildest dreams"
Welcome to EiffelCam
EiffelCams are webcam / computer instruments capturing images of the world's most recognized structure, the Tour Eiffel in Paris, France. This site is a tribute to the genius and vision of Alexandre Gustave Eiffel.
The two cameras are located a distance of approximately 285 meters from the base of the Eiffel Tower. By comparison, the top of the tower is approximately 300 meters from its base. EiffelCam1 is a five-megapixel IP camera that sends streaming video as well as still images. EiffelCam2 is a one-megapixel IP camera that captures an image of the tower every few seconds, and additionally records the ambient temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity. EiffelCam imagery is available on the Internet from the following sources :
