The elegant lines of the Eiffel Tower - La Tour Eiffel
Like a rocket waiting to launch, or a young sapling thrusting upwards towards the light, the Eiffel Tower, with its graceful silhouette, dominates the Paris skyline.
No matter how many times you've seen it, in real life or in pictures, it never fails to draw the eye.
Built in 1889 for the World Fair, which marked the centenary of the French Revolution, it was only supposed to be temporary.
130 years later, it is one of the most famous structures in the world and is still drawing around 7 million people a year.
