The Eiffel Tower
You couldn't possibly visit Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower. Even if you do not want to visit this world famous structure, you will see its top from all over Paris. 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.

The Eiffel Tower was the most famous monument build for the Paris World Exhibition in 1889. It was celebrating the first century since the French Revolution that started in 1789. It was build by engineer Gustave Eiffel in two years.

Gustave Eiffel. The Eiffel Tower is actually radio tower! When it was first built, the French people hated it and thought it was ugly. It now symbolizes France! :) Hope i helped in time! hehe
Eiffel secured a 20-year concession for the tower. In that span of time, the tower proved useful for scientific experiments and radio transmissions, and the state expressed interest to keep it.
The Eiffel tower was championed by Gustave Eiffel to help him demonstrate the possibilities of employing iron in building structures. The government wanted the tower to serve as a monumental entrance to the world fair held in 1889. Gustave Eiffel company won the contract and completed the building in time for the 1889 world fair. He also used the tower to house a meteorological observatory, and for telegraphic and radio broadcasting experiments. Since then the tower added radio and TV masts and served as a broadcasting point.
