2. EIFFEL TOWER, PARIS..


 If every one goes to Paris, they couldn’t possibly visit Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower. The tower rises 300 meters tall (984 ft),when it was completed at the end of the 19th century it was twice as high as the Washington Monument, at the time the tallest structure in the world.. wow  it is amazing... in the same time, this tower was the symbolic for Paris and Franc.

The Eiffel Tower was built for the World Exhibition in 1889, held in celebration of the French Revolution in 1789. Today, there is no such aversion anymore among the Parisians, and one could not imagine Paris without the Eiffel Tower, in fact it has become the symbol of the City of Light.,

 The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift (elevator), to the first and second levels. The walk from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by lift - stairs exist but they are not usually open for public use. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
