Book directly with us on boatinparis (.) fr with code VIATOR for a 15% discount! The most famous monument in Paris, the star of the capital: the Eiffel Tower. It was presented at the world fair in 1889 to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution. We owe this work of art to Gustave Eiffel. It is 1,000 feet high and weighs 10,000 tons. For a long time it was the highest monument in the world. You can visit the Eiffel Tower every day, all year round, until 11:00 at night, and till midnight during summer. It is repainted every seven years - about 60 tons of paint are required and the restoration lasts for three years. An interesting fact is that Parisians didn’t like it at all when it was built. They found it really ugly, and they were afraid the tower would collapse. Originally, the Eiffel Tower was built for 20 years but it was saved from demolition in 1906 when they put an antenna at the top.

At each corner, towering columns crowned with golden-winged statues glisten in the sunlight, symbolizing France’s grandeur. The bridge’s soft blue-gray metal contrasts with its golden details, reflecting beautifully on the water below. As boats pass beneath, they glimpse one of Paris’ most opulent and romantic landmarks.
