Paris - Eiffel Tower

When I think of Paris… the first thing came to my mind is the Eiffel Tower. :)

The scene (life size replicas) at the top of the tower covered by fiber glass, reconstructed by the Societe’ Nouvelle d’ Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel, is of Thomas Edison’s visit on 10 September 1889.

Gustave Eiffel, represented here in the company of his daughter Claire, had prepared a small apartment at the top of the tower where he welcomed prominent guests for intimate receptions.

The Eiffel Tower (French: la Tour Eiffel) is a metallic tower built on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France, and is nowadays the most famous landmark and symbol of Paris. At the time it was built (1889), it was the tallest building in the world and remained so until 1930. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, it is a premier tourist destination, with over 5.5 million visitors per year.

    Enjoy your blog on Eiffel Tower, a place that’s very close to my heart. Congrats, you finally reached this destination. I hope you’re inspired in Paris like me and many of my favorite French impressionists artists. The tower is a nice place to get engage. Did you know that the famous actor Tom Cruise and wife Kate got engaged up there? What a beautiful setting with the city view and lights up! Very romantic ano?
