ill take either senerio

Chateau d If:
I'm pretty sure that the clue box is positioned at the top level of the Eiffel Tower.  Just going by memory.  It's kind of squishy up there.  Those rivited windows in the shots are the windows into Gustave Eiffel 's office which is located at the third level.

From this Google Earth view ot the Tower you can see that the second level platform is very spacious  Lots of people!

Slowhatch:
If they're not decoys, then the whole Barcelona business may have to be reconsidered: Neobie wrote earlier of how tight the schedules are.

mswood:
Chateau d If



I think you are right about the upper level.  Didn't one of the spoilers say it was the upper level?

Also when reviewing season one we had one team go to the upper level (instead of the 2cd level) and it matches as far as space is concerned.

Chateau d If:
This picture was taken between 9:14 and 9:19 am on June 23rd, 2006.

I've got good accuracy with this one because they are located at the North Leg of the tower (where Gustave's Statue is located).  And the Eiffel Tower is oriented exactly North/South/East/West in terms of its leg positions (as near as I can tell from Google Earth, and knowing the French zeal for perfection I suspect that it is exact).  With that pinpoint of orientation and the the way the shadow crosses the rounded surface almost exactly at the corner (a little before, and being a slanted curve, you have to look at the equatorial position) I peg the solar azimuth at 89 plus or minus half a degree.

This all argees quite nicely with the Exif data of the shots:  This Nikon shot has a time stamp of 15:17:31while the Canon shot Karlyn & Lynn has a timestamp of 16:16:54.  But Both shots were taken within seconds of each other.  So they just have a daylight saving time mismatch in addition to their timezone offset of six hours as noted by Slowhatch.
