The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 for the Universal Exhibition, weighs 7,000 tons and stretches up some 317 meters (1,040 feet). The structure is huge.
From some angles, the Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline and gives the impression of strength. From other perspectives, the tower looks very delicate.
The Eiffel Tower consists of three floors or landings. The cost for admission varies depending on how far up the tower you wish to go (€3.70, €7, €10).

Nous sommes arrivés en France! We are staying in this lovely country for two months this spring. Our primary residence is Lyon, the third largest city in France, located to the southwest. It is a historical, cultural, and very picturesque city founded as the Roman city of Lugdunum, spread out over two hills and two rivers -- the Saône and Rhône.
With side trips to locations as diverse as Paris, Perpignan, Aix-en-Provence, and more, Steve and I aim to get our fill of a country neither of us has seen in a decade, and enjoy the cuisine, culture, language practice, scenery, and generally, la vie quotidienne.
