Eiffel Tower
5, Parc du Champ de Mars, 7th arrondissement
Description:
The Eiffel Tower is an elegant silhouette of France that has won the hearts of the world (the tower is the most visited and most photographed landmark in the world). The tower was erected on the Champ de Mars (in 1889) opposite the Jena Bridge over the Seine River. The symbol of Paris was conceived as a temporary structure – the creation of Eiffel served as the entrance arch of the Paris World Exhibition in 1889. From the planned demolition (20 years after the exhibition), the tower was saved by radio antennas installed at the very top.
The tower is 322 meters high and rests on four huge pylons with a cement base.
The tower is divided into three levels: the first - at a height of 57 m, the second - 115 and the third - 274. On the first two platforms are restaurants and bars. On platform 3 there is a lighthouse with a dome, above which there is an observation deck at an altitude of 274 meters. "To see Paris and die."
Locals consider the famous metal structure an inappropriate curiosity for tourists, but agree: it definitely has something!
