Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower, built in 1889 and named after its designer Gustave Eiffel, has become a global icon of France. It may be a touristy place to visit, but it is well worth it, especially at night as you will soon see! Below are pictures of the tower from the three visits I made — one where I actually ran up to the second floor! Exhausting~! but oh so worth it!

On the hour, for just 10 minutes, the Eiffel Tower will sparkle for you.
