Travel Tuesday: La Tour Eiffel

On this travel tuesday, I'm talking about one of the most famous places in the world, The Eiffel Tower located in Paris, France which I will be visiting for 10 days in 6 months.

The Tower named after  Gustave Eiffel, whose company built the tower in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1880 Worlds Fair. It is an global and cultural icon of France and one of of the most recognizable  structures in the world and is the most visited paid monument in the world. It is the tallest building in Paris  at 320 meters or 1050 feet about the same as a 81 story building and the 2nd tallest building in France.
The Tower has 3 levels, the 1st and 2nd level include restaurants. From ground floor to 1st floor it's about 300 steps and the same between 1st level and 2nd level. The third level is only accessible by lift or elevator.
My goal is to walk from ground level to 1st level and from 1st level to 2nd level and take the lift (look at me using foreign words already, LOL) to the 3rd level. I mean after all I must take it in its full glory, since I've only wanted to see it in person for 23 years..

The Eiffel Tower is absolutely beautiful and I am truly looking forward to seeing it in person and can't wait to share it's beauty one day soon with my children.




À Bientôt mes amis!
