I don't know for sure, but it seems very unlikely that every one of the ~2.234 million people living in Paris has been to the top of the Eiffel Tower. As in every major city, some people in Paris are pretty poor, even homeless, and they probably can't afford a tour of the Eiffel Tower.

How does the Eiffel Tower represent Paris?
What does the Eiffel Tower Represents. The architect, designer, and engineer of the Eiffel Tower was the man for whom the structure is named, Gustave Eiffel (French, 1832-1923). This historic structure was the main attraction at the Exposition Universelle (World Fair) of 1889 that was hosted by and held in the city of Paris. This event also marked the celebration of the Centennial of the Revolution of 1789. The structure was not designed, like a statue, to symbolize anything. But although the monument has no practical function and was simply constructed as an attraction for the Paris World's Fair, the structure has become synonymous with the ideals of ingenuity, progress, and beauty. The Eiffel Tower was constructed from wrought iron and reinforced truss work. The monument has become a long-standing example of the progress of 19th century engineering. Other architects and engineers responded to Eiffel's monument with comparable structures of their own. The Statue of Liberty and the Ferris Wheel represent prominent examples. The world's tallest structure is the 828 m (2,717 ft) tall. The building gained the official title of "Tallest Building in the World" at its opening on 4 January 2010. It is taller than any other man-made structure ever built.
