Description
Opens everyday from 9.30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
« Bergère Ô Tour Eiffel le troupeau de ponts bêle ce matin ». Guillaume Apollinaire compared bridges to sheep and the Eiffel Tower to a shepherd.
The tower has been looking on citizens for more than hundred years.
Its construction was decided to celebrate the Universal Exposition of 1889.
With its 300 metres, it rapidly became a universal symbol.
It took 21 months for Gustave Eiffel and his 50 engineers to assemble 18 000
pieces of iron with the help of 132 workers. It was decided that the tower should last for 20 years. The tower kept on its feet due to science : Gustave Eiffel encouraged radio transmission researches by proposing to use the tower as an antenna.
Nevertheless, the beginning of the history of the Eiffel Tower was not so easy, as many artists severely criticized it. Despite these problems, more than 20 millions of tourists came to see the “Great Lady” in one century…
Book a sunny day to climb the stairs of the 2 first floors, then take the lift to reach the third one… and enjoy the view!
