10-hour layover in Paris: Can I (Indian citizen with US visa), visit Eiffel Tower?
score:12
Accepted answer
As an Indian national with a US Visa transiting a French airport you do not generally require a visa, as you can TWOV (Transit Without Visa). Presuming you are passing through Paris CDG airport, then this is true even if you have to change terminals as there is an air-side bus. (At Paris ORY airport some transfers can not be made airside and will require a visa).
However TWOV will NOT allow you to enter the country, and the Eiffel tower is not even slightly visible from either airport!
Thus to visit the Eiffel Tower - or any other part of Paris - you will require a visa. As you are planning to leave the airport, you are most likely after a Schengen "Short Stay" visa, which will have to be issued by a French embassy due to the only country you're planning to visit being France.
Unfortunately this means that it'll end up being a relatively expensive visit to La Tour Eiffel.
