Eiffel Tower Paris
The Eiffel Tower is arguably the most iconic monument of the French capital. Built in 1887, it is today one of the most visited sites in the world.
Located on the Champ-de-Mars, it embodies the image of Paris around the world and is an essential stop during any stay in the capital.
A construction linked to the World’s Fair
The Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 World’s Fair, held to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution.
Its construction was a genuine technical challenge for its time. It took 2 years, 2 months and 5 days to erect this daring metal structure.
A monument that was meant to be temporary
The Eiffel Tower was originally meant to be dismantled after 20 years. Its use for scientific experiments allowed it to be preserved. Today, it still plays a role in broadcasting signals, notably for digital terrestrial television.
An iconic, ever-evolving monument
Since it was built, more than 250 million visitors have come to discover it. Today:
- it stands 324 metres tall including its antennas
- it weighs around 10,100 tonnes
- it is repainted every 7 years, requiring around 60 tonnes of paint
