Paris

None. The flood waters did not rush into Paris, creating great waves and washing people away; they rose gradually over a period of 10 days, then sank again over 35 days. Many people were flooded out, several houses crumbled slowly; but there were no deaths directly caused by the flooding.

No one. No Airport close to the Eiffel Tower because in most cities in the world, there is no airports in downtowns. the closest one is Orly at 20km in the south. The other one CDG is at 30km in the north.

The Eiffel Tower was lasted painted in 2009. It is painted every seven years. Although at one time it was painted yellow, the special formulated paint now used to paint this structure is called Eiffel Tower brown. This structure in Paris was built for the 1889 to commemorate the centennial of the fall of the Bastille in 1789.

Not too far; can be done by foot. Approximately 1.5 miles and downhill from the Arc to the Louvre. Easier by subway, two station stops. You walk down the Champs Elysee, past the Napoleon bridge to the right and the Grande & Petite Palaces, past the obelisk, through the Orangerie and the Garden of Tuilleries and there is the Louvre.

If you think of how many floors it is, its 9 floors up.

i dont know hobos figure it out

Bir-Hakeim is nearest, but the walk from there to the tower - half a mile or so - is rather boring. École Militaire gives you a walk the length of the Champ de Mars, with the tower in view all the time. The best, however, is Trocadéro - easier to get to than the other two, and you come out behind the Palais de Chailoot, from which you get the best view of all, and from there to the tower is all downhill, through the park with the famous fountains and across the Pont d'Iéna.

The Eiffel tower has 347 steps to the first level, 674 steps to the second level, and 1710 steps to the small platform on the top of the tower.

There is no direct train from Paris toVenice. You need to change usually at either Turin or Milan.

He was an architect that made the Eiffel Tower and a couple of famous buildings in the US.

Eiffel Tower has NOT been "accepted to be listed as a World Heritage Site". It has been listed AS A (small) PART OF the site of "Paris, Banks of the River Seine" which IN TOTAL

a. Represents a masterpiece of human creative genius

b. Exhibits an important interchange of human values in architecture, technology and town planning

c. Is an outstanding example of an architectural ensemble or landscape

The Eiffel Tower in Paris is 300m high and is made of steel. Between Summer and Winter its height changes by as much as 7.5cm. This is because in:

a) SUMMER,

due to the heat the attractive forces become slower and unable to hold the molecules at the correct places so we get shorter.

b)WINTER,

the opposite process to the above takes place in Winter and is known as contraction.

Notice than in hot, Summer sunny days, due to the same phenomenon, the side of the tower exposed to the sun shows some dilatation; owing to that dilatation following the course of the sun, the Eiffel tower summit looks smaller a it but its just us getting taller.

It is now - and TV too, of course. In fact, it was the invention of radio that saved the tower from demolition. Marconi used it for the first transatlantic transmission, and it was plainly to the advantage of France to have the highest aerial in Europe.

No. Though it is true that 1889 was the centenary of the French revolution, the Eiffel tower was designed as a landmark to be the entrance of the 1889 world fair, and as a statement about the possibilities of new building techniques with new materials.

Gustave Eiffel was an arcitect and engineer with a strong interest in using the then-new building material of iron to build taller, lighter buildings. To overcome cultural skepticism, he desighned and built the ornamental iron tower now named for him as an exhibit for a world's fair in Paris. Originally intended to be temporary, it was derrided by many as an ugly abomination. Although it remains preserved as an international architectural historical landmark, and is an internationally known trademark of the Paris skyline, many Parisians still consider it ugly.

la tour Eiffel is a The Eiffel tower is a 1063 foot tall iron tower standing in Paris, France. It is 313.2 metres (1027 feet) tall without its antennas. It was designed by the team of the engineer Gustave Eiffel as an monumental entrance to the 1889 world fair and was built from 1887 until early 1889 by 250 people. It was for a long time the tallest monument of the world, but the Chrisler building, the Empire State, the Burj Dubaï and a handful of TV masts are now taller.

The theory is it is because the metal particles expand when they get hot and then goes back to its original size once its cooled down in the summer, but in reality it is because us humans get shorter and shorter. So we think it is getting taller when actually we are just getting shorter.

Yes it does cost money, if you want to go up the floors

The river crossing the center of Paris is the Seine.

The current height of the Eiffel Tower is 986 inches. This is equivalent to 301 meters. This is slightly shorter than the Statue of Liberty in New York City.

Well, the height of the first platform is 57.63 mtrs, so it would be reasonablly accurate to say that that's how tall the tower legs are... Legs of the tower were so divided in parts, the pressure of stiletto heels on a squared inch is higher than the pressure of any "leg" of the Eiffel Tower on any squared inch.
