The Eiffel Tower, or La Tour Eiffel in French, is arguably the most recognizable landmark in Paris and a global icon of France. Here’s a detailed description:

What it is: The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It’s named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built it.

History and Purpose:

• Built for the 1889 Universal Exposition (World’s Fair): The tower was constructed as the grand entrance and centerpiece for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
• Initially controversial: Its design, an open-lattice iron structure, was initially met with skepticism and even opposition from some Parisian intellectuals and artists who considered it an “architectural shame.”
• Meant to be temporary: The tower was originally intended to be dismantled after 20 years. However, Gustave Eiffel cleverly ensured its survival by showcasing its utility as a platform for scientific experiments, including meteorology, military telegraphy, and later, radio and television transmission. This practical purpose saved it from demolition.
• A marvel of engineering: Constructed in just two years, two months, and five days (from 1887 to 1889), it was a remarkable feat of engineering for its time, using over 18,000 metal parts and 2.5 million rivets.

Dimensions and Features:

• Height: The tower stands at approximately 330 meters (1,083 feet) tall, including its broadcasting antenna. For 41 years after its completion, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world.
• Structure: It consists of four lattice-girder piers that curve inward and join to form a single large vertical tower. These piers are connected by networks of girders at different levels, forming observation platforms.
• Floors/Levels: The tower has three levels accessible to visitors:
  • First Floor: Features a transparent glass floor for a dizzying view down, historical exhibits about the tower’s construction, a souvenir shop, and the Madame Brasserie restaurant.
  • Second Floor: Offers breathtaking panoramic views of Parisian landmarks like the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, and Notre-Dame Cathedral. It also houses the Michelin-starred Le Jules Verne restaurant.
  • Summit (Third Floor): Accessible only by elevator, this is the highest public observation platform in the European Union, offering expansive views up to 60 km on a clear day. It also contains Gustave Eiffel’s recreated “secret apartment” and a champagne bar.
• Color: The Eiffel Tower is painted in three different shades of “Eiffel Tower Brown,” with the darkest shade at the top and the lightest at the bottom. This shading helps to counteract atmospheric haze and make the structure appear a uniform color from the ground. It is repainted by hand every seven years, a massive undertaking requiring 60 tons of paint.
• Lights: Every evening, after dark, the tower performs a dazzling light show. For the first five minutes of every hour, 20,000 LED light bulbs sparkle, creating a magical spectacle.

Cultural Significance and Impact: The Eiffel Tower has transcended its original purpose to become a powerful symbol of Paris, romance, and French ingenuity. It attracts nearly 7 million visitors each year, making it the most visited paid monument in the world. Its silhouette is instantly recognizable and has been replicated and inspired structures globally. It embodies the spirit of innovation and remains a testament to the enduring power of architectural vision.
