Interesting facts on the eiffel tower?
It was going to be torn down after 20 years (in 1909) but when the time came it was so popular and useful they decided to keep it.
The best time to go is as early as possible Sunday morning (it’s open every day), no-one else is around so you’ll have the place to yourself. It’s glorious when seen that way.
