Sometimes a picture can really take you traveling, can’t it? This amazing photo of Paris’ Eiffel Tower is certainly no exception to that rule.
Located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France, the 1889-built iron lattice Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognizable structures in the world and the tallest building in Paris. Another noteworthy fact about this tower is that it is the sigle most visited paid monument in the world with millions of visitors ascending its lattice work every year.
Getting her name from designer and engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was originally built as the entrance arch for the 1889 World’s Fair but was kept on by the Parisians as a landmark which stands 1,063 feet tall.
If you haven’t yet made it to Eiffel’s Tower, we think it’s just about time, don’t you?
