Among the most famous attractions of Paris are Arch of Triumph, Notre-Dame de Paris and of course its main symbol – the Eiffel Tower. It was named after Gustav Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower in 1889. This tower is made of iron. The tower stands on four legs and has a sharp peak on the top. The tower is the tallest construction in Paris and the most-visited monument in the world where you have to pay money to visit it. Millions of people go to the top of the Tower to get an amazing view of Paris.
The Eiffel Tower is 324 meters tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second floor. The third level is a platform, it’s 276 meters above the ground. If you walk around Paris in the evening you can enjoy a wonderful view of the lighted Eiffel Tower.
