the French flag is the official French pavilion since 1794. It was drawn by Jacques Louis David, famous French painter, but it has its origins in July 1789. Shortly after the fall of the Bastille, the king visited the Paris town hall and was handed a blue and red cocard - the colours of the town - which he put on his hat next to the white cocard (French royalty emblem at the time), as a gesture towards the people of Paris.

Who made the Eiffel Tower in Paris?
Eiffel Tower
The French engineer Gustave Eiffel designed the Eiffel Tower. The tower, arguably the most well-known monument in the world, is the tallest structure in Paris. It was completed in 1889, and it has had several hundred million visitors since it opened. A workforce of about 250 riveted in excess of 18,000 pieces of iron together to erect this long-lived landmark (it was not originally slated to be left standing), which has a structural design credited to Maurice Koechlin.
Though named after a project of Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower - symbol of Paris - has its structural concept and form from the responsible chief engineer Maurice Koechlin. Koechlin was an engineer of outstanding ingenuity and well versed in the structural techniques of his time. He possessed therefore the best qualifications for evolving such technically innovative conceptions for which Eiffel and his firm were renowned.
The Eiffel Tower was named after and designed by Gustave Eiffel. Gustave was also assisted by engineers Émile Nouguier and Maurice Koechli. The main architect was Stephen Sauvestre. Before the Eiffel Tower was built, a total of 50 engineers made 5,300 blueprints. The Eiffel Tower was a big structure, and probably many people built it. Many research resources listed a number too big or too small, but I finally settled on a number I found in more than one research database, which is around 300.
The European landmark, the Eiffel Tower (in French, la Tour Eiffel, pronounced la two-er eff-ell) was designed by and named after French engineer Gustave Eiffel. It was opened on May 6, 1889.
Its structural design was by Maurice Koechlin; its architects were Koechlin, Emile Nougier and Stephen Sauvestre.
Built as the entrance to the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the Paris World Fair held to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution, it is an iron lattice structure, 324m (1,063 ft) tall, built in 1889, and has become one of the world's most recognizable and iconic buildings. It is located on the Champ de Mars, in Paris. Originally disliked by many, it became fashionable to criticize the tower, though the people of Paris came to accept it.

When was mont st Michel built?
In prehistoric times the bay was land. As sea levels rose erosion shaped the coastal landscape over millions of years. Several blocks of granite or granulite emerged in the bay, having resisted the wear and tear of the ocean better than the surrounding rocks.
