How are you doing all ?
Today I brought to you some information that I gatherd about
::Eiffel Tower::
So let me start it !
~!~Eiffel Tower~!~
The Eiffel Tower is the tallest structure in paris and possibly the most recognized monument in Europe. Named after its designer,engeneer Gustave Eiffel .
6,428,441 people visited the tower in 2005 and more than 200,000,000 since its construction .the structure is 324 m high which is about 81 stories.The structure of the Eiffel Tower weighs 7300 tons. There are 1660 steps (360 to the first level, another 359 to the second).
~!~ The Tower & The Lightning~!~
In 1902, it was struck by lightning which meant that 300 feet of the top had to be reconstructed and the lights illuminating the tower had to be replaced, as they were damaged by the high energy of the lightning.!
Maintenance of the tower includes applying 50/60 tons of three graded tones of paint every seven years to protect it from rust. On occasion, the color of the paint is changed — the tower is currently painted a shade of brownish-gray. However, the tower is actually painted three different colors in order to make it look the same color. The colors change from dark to light from top to bottom, but it looks the same because of the background (the sky being light and the ground being dark). Nature lovers thought that it would interfere with the flight of birds over Paris
It was almost torn down in 1909 at the expiration of its 20-year lease, but was saved because of its antenna — used for telegraphy at that time .
The Eiffel Tower at night is one of the great sights of Paris and shouldn't be missed. The gold lighting highlights the delicacy of the steelwork in a way that is missed in daylight. Skip the tour buses and pickpockets on Trocadéro and head up to the Ecole Militaire for a more tranquil view.
