A daredevil climbs onto the roof of a train to get an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower.

Lewis Felix was on holiday with his friends in Paris, when they hatched a plan to get the best view of the iconic landmark.

The 27-year-old has train-surfed in many countries before.

But after seeing photos of people on the train in the French capital he knew he had to be on top of it.

Lewis, of Manchester, shared a clip of this to Instagram (@air.addiction), where the post has gathered 367,000 likes.

“I’ve train surfed many times in many countries — this one is pretty simple,” Lewis, who runs a performance car workshop, told NeedToKnow.co.uk.

“However, if you don't lay completely flat as it comes into the station, it’s game over as there is only 1ft of clearance between the train and the station.”

Lewis and his friends can be seen jumping onto the top of a train as it leaves the station.

The group then gets up and stands on the roof of the train as it passes the Eiffel Tower, capturing the most amazing view.

They can then be spotted coming back to a stop when they jump off the train and run out of the station.

Noah said: “Bro is playing Subway surfers.” [sic]

Someone else commented: “A real adrenaline rush.”

Another fan added: “Woahh I wanna do this so bad but I am fully aware you've made it look easy!” [sic]

“Sum assassins creed,” wrote Brandon. [sic]

“Why women live longer,” Lisa joked.

“You absolute mentalists! Love it,” added Maddy.

“Got some balls hahaha go on lads,” said someone else. [sic]

Lewis added: “Train surfing isn’t my main focus, I do parkour, urbex, and a lot of rooftop climbs.

“Train surfing is clearly risky, but we do all the research and prepping we can to make it as safe as possible.”
