Everyone

atmosphere as for the more famous sights such as the Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame
Cathedral...

| Eiffel Tower.. |
The Eiffel
Tower (Tour Eiffel) in Paris, France is one of the most recognizable structures
in the world, and one of the symbolic structures of France. The tower is the
tallest structure in Paris, standing at 1,063 feet (325 meters), and is also
one of the city’s most visited landmarks. It was originally built as a
temporary structure that was to be torn down after 20 years, but survived
criticism and demolition to become the icon it is today.
 |
| Inaugurated March 31, 1889, the Eiffel Tower would be the tallest structure in the world until the completion of the Chrysler Building in 1930. |
As a tourist
spot, the tower draws an average of 10,000 visitors a day, who have access to
the first three floors, getting them as high as 902 feet (275 meters). Two
restaurants reside in the tower, one of them run by renown chef Alain Ducasse.
The Tower welcomed its 200,000,000th visitor in 2002.
So,,welcome to romance city..
