Description
Viewed from atop the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower literally towers over Paris! Zoning restrictions in Paris limit the height of most buildings to seven stories making the height of the tower even more dramatic. Constructed in 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world: 6.98 million people ascended it in 2011. An average of 25,000 people ascent the tower every day. And you feel like you have bumped into most every one of them when you go there!
