What history makes France famous?
Pluto, formal designation 134340 Pluto, is the second-largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System (after Eris) and the tenth-largest body observed directly orbiting the Sun. Classified as a planet from its 1930 discovery until 2006, Pluto is now considered the largest member of a distinct population called the Kuiper belt.[note 8]
Like other members of the Kuiper belt, Pluto is composed primarily of rock and ice and is relatively small: approximately a fifth the mass of the Earth's Moon and a third its volume. It has an eccentric and highly inclined orbit that takes it from 30 to 49 AU (4.4-7.4 billion km) from the Sun. This causes Pluto periodically to come closer to the Sun than Neptune.
Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, are sometimes treated together as a binary system because the barycentre of their orbits does not lie within either body.[6] The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has yet to formalise a definition for binary dwarf planets, and until it passes such a ruling, Charon is classified as a moon of Pluto.[7] Pluto has two known smaller moons, Nix and Hydra, discovered in 2005.[8]
From its discovery in 1930 until 2006, Pluto was considered the Solar System's ninth planet. In the late 1970s, following the discovery of minor planet 2060 Chiron in the outer Solar System and the recognition of Pluto's very low mass, its status as a major planet began to be questioned.[9] Later, in the early 21st century, many objects similar to Pluto were discovered in the outer Solar System, notably the scattered disc object Eris, which is 27% more massive than Pluto.[10] On August 24, 2006, the IAU defined the term "planet" for the first time. This definition excluded Pluto as a planet, and added it as a member of the new category "dwarf planet" along with Eris and Ceres.[11] After the reclassification, Pluto was added to the list of minor planets and given the number 134340.[12][13] A number of scientists continue to hold that Pluto should be classified as a planet.[14] also its gay.

What was the world's greatest engineering marvel in 1889 when it was built.?
The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France was completed in 1889 as the entrance to that year's World's Fair. It was built by the Compagnie des Etablissements Eiffel; its design was initially criticized by intellectuals and artists as a "hateful column of bolted sheet metal," but 125 years later, it has become one of the most recognizable structures in the world. It is the most visited paid monument in the world and globally recognized as a symbol of Paris and of France. It is 1,063 feet tall and held the title for the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years.
The tower was named after French engineer Gustave Eiffel. In 1885, he said that the tower would symbolize "not only the art of the modern engineer, but also the century of Industry and Science in which we are living, and for which the way was prepared by the great scientific movement of the eighteenth century and by the Revolution of 1789, to which this monument will be built as an expression of France's gratitude."

Why the height of the Eiffel Tower changes by 7.5m between summer and winter?
The height of the Eiffel tower changes by 7.5 centimeters (not meters, that would be a huge change). This is about 3 inches. The Eiffel tower is made of iron and the change is due to the metal dilatation and contraction as the temperature changes. During the course of an hot summer day, as the sun goes round, the tip of the Eiffel tower moves in an ellipse of less than 20 centimeters (the length of an adult's hand). Even before the tower was built in 1889, engineers had already made an accurate calculation of that phenomenon.

Where is the best place to stay in Paris?
You need to decide how much your budget will allow, whether you want to stay in a chain hotel or an independently-run family hotel, what part of the city you'll want to be in for access to nearby sights (and sites), whether you need an English-speaking staff, and so on.
If you want to do the legwork yourself there are lots of websites that offer guidance. Type something like HOTELS PARIS or PARIS HOTELS into a site such as Google or Ask and you'll be inundated with links. There are also loads of guidebooks with associated websites for people who want some help but can do most of the setup by themselves. Two that I use are www.ricksteves.com and www.lonelyplanet.com.
If you haven't travelled overseas before and/or do not speak French, you may be better served by talking to a travel agent. They do charge a small fee but offer loads of insights and connections that you wouldn't be able to obtain on your own. HE IS RIGHT you must do this
Alternatively, an increasingly popular method of accomodations in Paris is short term rentals (also known as self catering apartments). Just type in something like "paris short term apartments" in Google and you will see lots of options. The site I used when I was there was TripsEurope.com and they provided good service.

Paris, as any other exotic location, dazzles a person's eyes with the aforesaid reasons.

Depends how you look at it. It's the capital city and the economic centre, for a start. If you draw a line from the westernmost point of France to the Easternmost, and another from the northernmost to the southernmost, they cross near Paris. But it's not the geographical centre, which is a point disputed by a couple of villages near Bourges.

Actually, no.
The Eiffel Tower is eriged on a piedestrian park.
Roads along it are not equipped with parking places and it is forbidden to park from 9 am to 7 pm. An exception is made in August when parking is free (expected in some very touristic areas).
Generaly, it is not easy to park a car in Paris (neither to drive, actually). You have to pay for most of places. And the nearest from touristic spots are very expensive (if you have the chance to get a legal one). It can be more than 3 € per hour and the parking can not exceed two hours.
You can be penalized with a 11 € fine fot not paying a parking place, with a 35 € for cumbersome or abusing parking.
