The Eiffel Tower of Paris in France

The Eiffel Tower was constructed by the French architect Gustave Eiffel between 1887

and 1889. Known as the La Tour Eiffel in French, it was a key feature at the 1889 Paris

Exposition, also known as the Universal Expositions of the French Revolution, which displayed

France's industrial prowess to the rest of the world. This essay proposes to describe the key

features of the magnificent Tower while analyzing its history.

There are incredible facts about this Tower. The Eiffel Tower was built using iron rather

than steel. (Thomas &Ralph,1909). The forges in the east of France provided the puddled iron

used in the Eiffel Tower construction. The Tower is referred to by the French as "La Dame de

Fer," which directly translates to "Iron Lady. "A famous sight in Paris that every visitor wishes to

capture on camera. It has played host to many significant occasions in Parisian and French

history.

In addition, the Eiffel Tower's height, including the antenna that sits atop the structure, is

1,063 feet (324 meters). Without the antenna, it measures 984 feet (300 meters). It was the

highest structure in the world until his Chrysler Skyscraper was constructed in New York City in

1930, at which point it was surpassed as the tallest building in the world. The Eiffel Tower is, as

it has always been, the most notable feature of the skyline of Paris. The well-known Tower is

said to welcome more than seven million guests yearly, as stated on the attraction's official

website.

Since its opening in 1889, Eiffel Tower has been visited by about 250 million visitors

globally. (Meg et al., 2001) On each of the Tower's three levels, there is a concert theatre, a

champagne bar, various gift stores offering one-of-a-kind goods, and two restaurants with a
combined total of several buffets. Tours of the Tower, both entertaining and educational, are

available for children and tour groups.

Regarding the features it offers, the first, second, and third levels of the Tower are all

accessible to members of the general public. The second story and the top floor are composed of

two floors (an enclosed lower floor and an open-air upper floor). There is a choice between using

the elevator or the stairs to get to the building's first two stories. The only method to travel from

the second level of a building to the top floor of another building is to use the elevator.

The Eiffel Tower has a vital significance in France. Soon after its completion, the Eiffel

Tower shot to the top of the list of must-see attractions in Paris thanks to its towering height and

unique profile as it rose above the rest of the Parisian landscape(Lucien et al.,2003). The Eiffel

Tower has been the center of attention ever since its construction, and it has been the site of

many significant events in the history of Paris and France. These include the fantastic fireworks

show on July 14 (also known as "Bastille Day") and large-scale and national-level athletic

contests.

It was natural for it to take on the responsibility of portraying France in the collective

imagination, whether in films, visual arts, and written works such as poetry and literature. It was

something that it did in films and visual arts. It is recorded on film, described in written form,

filmed, and replicated in a broad range of other environments.

It is not enough to only point out on a map that the Tower location is in Paris. For this

reason, it is more important to clarify that it is located in the seventh arrondissement of Paris, on

the banks of the Seine. The Seine is a barrier between the Fields of Mars, located south, and the

Trocadero and the Tower, located north. The Military Academy may be found farther to the

south and has a beautiful aspect.

 To answer the Paris theme question, France's association with fashion and style is

sometimes traced to the reign of Louis XIV, when the luxury industries in France progressively

fell under the influence of the French monarchy and court, which is claimed to be Europe's

arbiter. Rich foreigners traveled to Paris in the 17th century to sew own garments or pay tailors

and tailors to imitate contemporary Parisian masterpieces.

For decades, tourists' perceptions of Parisian fashion have been characterized by these

interconnected themes: eagerly adopting the current Parisian fashions and enraged by the city's

grandeur and costs. Annually, the fashion industry makes about 600 million dollars exporting

scarves to the USA, 300 million on shoes to Yemen and 200 million dollars on shoes to Saudi

Arabia. On average, the industry makes a whopping 33 billion euros annual sales. From the map

one would be able to see details of Paris export.
