Oùcécap’s take
The Eiffel Tower can be seen from almost anywhere in Paris, yet rooftops often hide it just when you need it. Remember two landmarks: it stands due south of the Arc de Triomphe (181°, 1.7 km away) and west of Notre-Dame (278°, 4.1 km). From the Sacré-Cœur, aim south-west, at 228°. And if you get lost, remember that it rises on the bank of the Seine, on the Left Bank.
