My opinion of the place:

The Eiffel tower is a very beautiful, welcoming and hopeful place for those who want to visit. One of the curiosities of this

fantastic place is that Paris was the only city that agreed to build the Eiffel Tower. this place has many specialties to go, within

them climb the stairs and know its history, enjoy this night, enjoy wine and cheese at the foot of the tower, take a cruise and

much more. really this place is unique and has no comparison, if you feel sad and want to go in search of happiness, there it is,

go to the Eiffel tower in Paris.

The Eiffel Tower is still the symbol of Paris and also increasingly, the incarnation of France abroad. Around this magnificent

aura, it can seem difficult to exist. Another spectacular thing about the Eiffel tower is the tower is higher in summer

In cold weather, the Eiffel Tower shrinks about six centimeters, while in summer it grows about twelve. That happens due to

the expansion of the iron, it is not that in summer I take Petit Suisse.
So without thinking twice it is a very welcoming and hopeful place, with its colored lights it changes our lives, its height gives

us the best quality of empowerment.
