Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris, France, on the continent of Europe.
France is on the European continent.

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.

The black on the Eiffel Tower was darker on the bottom then it was on the top, this made the Eiffel Towers height look enhanced.

there are between 1665 steps to 1710 steps all the way to the top depending on which side you try.....

the problem is that you can only climb by stairs up to the second floor....from thesecond floor to the top, its forbidden to use the stairs and you have to take the lift (for safety reasons)

Can't be done, Weddings are held in Town Halls (Mairies/Hotels de Ville). You could have your reception on the tower. 2010 prices (for the room alone) are: 750 € for 2 hours before 10pm; 850 € after 10pm. This includes a room on the first floor, a hostess at the lift ticket office, another for the queue, another at the room entrance and a cloakroom attendant. Anything beyond the bare room is extra and the prices are by negotiation (and, one imagines, not cheap).

The Sky tower was built by Fletcher construction.

There is no restaurant at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

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

The World Trade Center twin towers easily dwarfed the Eiffel Tower in height. The WTC towers were both more than 1360 ft (415 m) tall, with a broadcast antenna on the North Tower reaching 1726 ft (527 m) in height. The highest point was therefore 45% to 70% higher than the Paris landmark. The Eiffel Tower's height is only 984 ft (301 m) ,with an antenna reaching 1063 ft (325 m). The Eiffel Tower was the tallest tower in the world 1889-1930. The Twin Towers held that distinction from 1972 to 1973.

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.

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

The trocadéro esplanade, the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré-coeur basilica all have steps and all offer a view on the Eiffel tower.

Las Vegas has many cultures, Just like the Pyramid from Egypt, we made the Luxor in to the shape of a pyramid. And we also have the statue of liberty, next to the New York-New York Casino. To bring culture. and other reasons.

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.

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.

Most parts in the Eiffel tower are made of copper the world's best known conductor of electricity

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.

Lift to 2nd floor:

How the disabled are expected to get up the stairs, I can't think; but they are allowed one accompanying person at the same rate.

Incidentally, prices are the same all the year round; these prices apply until March 31, 2012

It cost eight million francs (US$1.5 Million 1890 dollars, US$34 Million 2007 dollars)

it grows because of the special meat it was made out of it was made out of that metal because it was only suppose to stand for 20 years

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.
