Hi there,
We will be arriving at Charles De Gaulle Airport @ 9.20pm and we dont have a flight next morning till 7.20am. Just wondering is it possible to see Eiffel Tower in between heard its only 30mins from there. Also how much the taxi will cost us and is it safe enough to go at that time?
Also can you get a on arrival visa at the Airport?

Visa: depends on your nationality and where you are coming from. This is not a good place to ask.
Eiffel Tower: You could, in theory, go into the city on the RER, changing for the Metro to Trocadero, where the best views are, to watch the Eiffel Tower flash, then cross the Seine and walk along the Left Bank to Notre Dame (about an hour or so), have a meal in an all-night cafe, then take the RER B back to the airport in time to catch your plane.
This would cost you something on the order of 40 euros per person for transportation, plus whatever you spent in the city. A taxi roundtrip would cost +/- 110 euros and would be a lot more comfortable, but I don't know where you would find a taxi to the airport at 0200 or 0300.
Let's hope others can help you decide whether this "theory" is in fact workable for you. Assuming you can exit the airport, of course.
It would be a memorable if epic evening.
