The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl]) is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Erected 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 structure in Paris[10] and the most-visited paid monument in the world; 7.1 million people ascended it in 2011. The third level observatory's upper platform is at 279.11 m (915.7 ft) the highest accessible to public in the European Union and the highest in Europe as long as the platform of the Ostankino Tower, at 360 m (1,180 ft), remains closed as a result of the fire of August 2000. The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in 2010.
The tower stands 320 metres (1,050 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey 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. 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 (elevator), 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 lift - stairs exist but they are not usually open for public use. 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.
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.

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.
Visitar a Torre Eiffel sem ter que ir a Paris. Isso já é possível em Umuarama, noroeste do Estado do Paraná, graças à idéia de um empresário da cidade. Desde que ficou pronta, no final do ano de 2007 , a réplica de um dos monumentos mais famosos do mundo recebe diariamente centenas de visitantes e já se tornou ponto de referência turística na cidade.
O empresário que idealizou a torre, Edson Ferrarin, investiu cerca de R$ 180 mil, além de 30 toneladas de ferro e fibra de vidro, para construir a torre. Foram necessários 12 meses para levantar o monumento.
A torre de Umuarama apresenta uma proporção simétrica à original. Enquanto a torre francesa tem 324 metros de altura, a paranaense tem 32,4 metros. Já a largura da base da réplica tem 12 metros, exatamente 10% dos 120 metros da base da original.
Constituindo-se no portal de seu sitio, às margens da BR-323, o empresário diz que o número de visitantes ultrapassou o previsto e que tem a intenção de apresentar a réplica de mais um ponto turístico europeu, mas com idéia de explorar comercialmente o novo empreendimento.
