Does the Eiffel Tower have any rooms?

There is a restaurant on the 1st level called 58 Tour Eiffel. I would imagine there would be a bathroom on that level. Whether or not it's open to the public in the viewing section is another matter. (I bet if you really had to go, and asked very nice; they might let you go. Most French people are very kind). On the top level when I was there in May 2009, I couldn't find a bathroom. I didn't need to go. I was simply curious. They did serve champagne though, for a heart stopping 10 Euros a glass...

The structures that Eiffel designed had great social, economical, and political impacts on the world. These structures included bridges, the Eiffel Tower, and the Statue of Liberty.

The Eiffel Tower had a huge impact on France. The tower was the focal point of the International Exposition in 1889 and drew millions of people to Paris. Nearly two million people visited the Eiffel Tower in 1889 alone. The tower quickly became a tourist attraction and brought large amounts of money into France's economy. After originally being thought of as an eyesore (it was actually designed to be torn down easily after the end of the Exposition), the tower quickly became a national symbol of France and brought a sense of pride to the people who live there.

Tour Eiffel

When built: 1887-1889

Why: International Exhibition; France to have the world's tallest building.

Designed by Gustave Eiffel, a bridge builder. The plans covered 6,000 square metres of paper.

How built; in a factory, then put together on the site like a giant Meccano set by 300 builder. Held together by 2,500,000 rivets.

PRICE: exactly 1 franc per kilogram.

WEIGHT: 7,000 tons, putting a pressure on the ground of 56 lbs per square inch - less than a man sitting on a chair. A scale model a foot high would weigh a quarter of an ounce (7 grams).

Going up the tower is not compulsory for visitors to Paris. The view from the top is over-rated. I recommend the second floor. Go up by lift, walk down the stairs.
