The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
Constructed from 1887–89 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015.

Paris by Night - 08/12/10
La tour Eiffel, initialement nommée tour de 300 mètres, est une tour de fer puddlé construite par Gustave Eiffel et ses collaborateurs pour l'Exposition universelle de Paris de 1889. Situé à l'extrémité du parc du Champ-de-Mars, en bordure de la Seine, ce monument parisien, symbole de la capitale française, est le neuvième site le plus visité du pays en 2006 et le premier monument payant visité au monde avec 6,893 millions de visiteurs en 2007[1].
D'une hauteur de 313,2 mètres à l'origine, la tour Eiffel est restée le monument le plus élevé du monde pendant 41 ans. Sa hauteur a été plusieurs fois augmentée par l'installation de nombreuses antennes, pour culminer[2] à 324 m et 325 m depuis le 17 janvier 2005 avec l'émetteur TNT. Utilisée dans le passé pour de nombreuses expériences scientifiques, elle sert aujourd'hui d'émetteur de programmes radiophoniques et télévisés. Sa construction n’a duré que deux ans et deux mois et il y a eu un mort sur le chantier : un ouvrier italien, Angelo Scaglioti, tombé du premier étage après la fin de la construction.
Other title: Eiffel Tower (Paris, France)
Creator: Eiffel, Gustave, 1832-1923
Date: 1887-1889
Current location: Paris, D?partmente de Ville de Paris, Ile-de-France, France
Description of work: Gustave Eiffel was a successful engineer specializing in daring iron railroad bridges, such as the Garabit Viaduct, that were able to span enormous gaps using extremely lightweight trussed frameworks. In 1885, Eiffel told his engineering team about the French government's call for a monument intended to "stun the public imagination" to be built at the Exposition Universelle of 1889, the centenary of the French Revolution. Two of these engineers, Nouguier and Koechlin, along with architect Sauvestre, designed a 300-m high tower, which would dwarf the 169-m Washington Monument, the world's tallest structure at the time. Although an official design competition was held in 1886, the government had already seen and approved the design by Eiffel's team, which won unanimously. Most of the costs of construction were paid by Eiffel, who was then to receive all revenue generated for the 20 years the tower was intended to stand before demolition. The tower's openwork design, parabolic profile, and incredibly precise engineering allowed it to soar to an unprecedented height with a minimum of material, wind resistance, and swaying at the topmost viewing platform. Although aesthetically controversial among Parisians when built, it soon changed from merely a temporary image of France's modern engineering skills to an enduring symbol of Paris, of France, and of modernity itself.

eiffel tower reflection. this was the least blurry i could get it with my point and shoot, but i thought it was a good addition to all of the more standard shots of the tower that i got.
The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It was 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 was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.
