About Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower, a global symbol of Paris, rises 324 meters high. Built in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel, it boasts three levels, each offering unique perspectives of the city. The top level provides sweeping views of Parisian landmarks, while the first two levels host exhibitions and dining options. Its intricate iron lattice design and nightly light show make it an architectural and cultural marvel.
The creator of Eiffel Tower, Gustave Eiffel, once inhabited a personal apartment on the third floor. Now accessible to the public, the space offers a glimpse into the aesthetic of the Eiffel era, featuring preserved decor from that period.
The Eiffel Tower undergoes repainting every 7 years to preserve its legendary appearance. This meticulous process requires approximately 60 tons of paint to cover the entirety of the structure, ensuring its continued visual splendor.
The Eiffel Tower's height can vary by up to 6 inches, depending on the changing temperature. In summer, the iron expands, and in winter, it contracts.
Acting as a natural lightning conductor, the Eiffel Tower encounters an annual average of 10 lightning strikes. Its towering structure and strategic location contribute to this phenomenon.
Originally pained as reddish-brown, the Eiffel Tower underwent various color transformations before settling into its present hue, known as "Eiffel Tower Brown," blending bronze and brown tones for its distinctive appearance.
