After that, the price depends on what you want to see and whether there's a 'spectacle'. You can buy a ticket for the palace, for the gardens, for the Trianon, for the fountain show and so on. But on a normal day a ticket which covers everything is 18€.
How do you get from Gare Saint-Lazare to the Eiffel tower?
You can walk - the two stations are at opposite sides of the river, but not very far apart. More practically (if you have luggage) you can go by bus - number 61 does the trip in 5 minutes. As you leave the station, you'll find local plans posted to show you where the bus stops (arrets d'autobus) are. You can go by metro - line 5 to Bastille and then Line 1. This will take much longer. Of course, you could take a taxi, but that's cheating.
