But now visitors and citizens of [Paris](https://time.com/4804333/donald-trump-pittsburgh-not-paris-rally/) have another reason to view the iconic landmark: They can now fly across a zip line from it. For free, visitors can fly over the Champs de Mars at about 55 miles per hour, over 375 feet above the ground, landing at the L'École Militaire. The gravity-defying addition to the Eiffel Tower is only available until June 11. [Perrier](http://www.nestle-waters.com/asset-library/documents/smashperrier.pdf) set up the ride to celebrate the French Open. In fact, as participants fly across it, they will going the same speed as a tennis ball when it's served. Only 100 people will be able to fly across it each day while it's open. It takes off from the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. > [Un survol du champ de mars à plus de 90km/h depuis le 2ème étage de la Tour Eiffel ça vous dit?!
