After checking into our apartment in Rue Cler, we immediately walked over to the Champ de Mars and the Eiffel Tower. This was the view we had with our own eyes for the very first time.
Eiffel Tower on Champ de Mars as viewed from Palais De Chaillot in Paris, France - May 2006.
Le pont d'Iena crosses la Seine between Palais and Eiffel Tower. Napoléon I ordered the construction of the Iéna bridge to commemorate his 1806 victory there against the Prussians . It was built between 1808 and 1814, but narrowly escaped being blown up in 1815 when his Empire collapsed. The bridge was enlarged in 1937 because of the increase in traffic and the demands of the Universal Exposition of that year.
La Tour Eiffel è il monumento più famoso di Parigi ed è conosciuta in tutto il mondo come simbolo della città stessa e della Francia.
Fu chiamata così dal nome del suo progettista, l'ingegnere Gustave Eiffel, che costruì anche la struttura interna della Statua della libertà.
È visitata mediamente ogni anno da oltre cinque milioni e mezzo di turisti. Nel 2006 è stata al nono posto tra i siti più visitati della Francia, ed è il monumento a pagamento più frequentato del mondo con 6.893.000 visitatori nel 2007.
Dalla sua apertura, nel 1889, è stata visitata da circa 250 milioni di persone.
Just in my dreams, I've gone to this famous symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower.
Long time ago, a man named Nimrod, wanted to be famous and he built a tower he wanted to reach to heavens. An ambitious project he never know he cant even finished it.
Get your Bible and read the account of how easy for Jehovah to stop the work. Genesis Chapter 11.
With just a little twist of the brain's capacity to learn a new language, the worker never know that he is now speaking a new language only him understand it.
Imagine when an engineer, bring his tower plan and explain to the worker how to build it and the worker did not understand what the engineer had explained to him. There will an argument causing them to push one another and stop the work and fled elsewhere.
About the photo, there are 3 photos of this series and I am experimenting DOF here.
La tour Eiffel est une tour de fer de 324 mètres de hauteur située à Paris, à l'extrémité nord-ouest du parc du Champ-de-Mars
The Eiffel Tower is an iron tower 324 meters high located in Paris, at the northwest end of the park Champ de Mars
Views from the Tour Montparnasse are as good as those from the Eiffel Tower, but without the crowds and queues

The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl], nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is a wrought iron[10] lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in Paris[11] and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
The tower stands 320 metres (1,050 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-story building. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. However, because of the addition, in 1957, of the antenna atop the Eiffel Tower, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France, after the Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift, to the first and second levels. The walk from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by elevator. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.
Looks like the Eiffel Tower is all dressed up to look like the EU flag. With a 50mm lense it was hard to take any decent pictures up close.
Let me tell you why I love the Eiffel Tower. It's not because it's iconic of Paris, but because it is a World's Fair artifact. I love World's Fairs and if I was an old lady, my house would be full of memorabilia.
Anyway, I figured since I've been here a week that I was due to see this feat of engineering that wasn't intended to still be standing. I took a copious amount of pictures - some of them were even on my cameras.
People kept asking me to take their picture in front of the tower. At one point there was even a line and one person justified her request by adding, "you look like you know what you're doing."
The guy in the foreground was one of about 30 selling miniature Eiffel Towers. He was the only one who had light up ones though...
