The Eiffel Tower is an amazing piece of art, named after its designer Gustave Eiffel. It is the tallest building in Paris, reaching over 1,063 feet. The Eiffel Tower is an iron built tower, constructed from 1887 to 1889. The Eiffel is beautiful and looked upon as a masterpiece. Today, it is used for observation and radio broadcasting. When the Eiffel tower was built, many people were shocked by its odd shape. Some people thought it was not artistic others thought that it would be a danger to the people. 300 people signed a petition stating that the Eiffel Tower was a danger to art and artists. But Gustave knew about wind forces so the awkward shape would help the Eiffel Tower to stand. The Eiffel Tower is on the street called Champ de Mars. It is a great piece of work that, many people go to see.

The Eiffel Tower has two restaurants: Altitude 95 is on the first floor. Jules Veme is on the second floor, it is an expensive restaurant. It took 300 steel workers and 2 years to construct this beauty. They use 15,00 pieces of iron and 40 tons of paint. The Eiffel Tower was built for the World Exhibition which was being held for the French Revolution in 1789. People visit the Eiffel Tower all the time. About 6-8 million people visit the tower each year. The Eiffel Tower would be a nice place for a vacation/ travel. There is a lot of food and fun in Paris.
