la tour eiffel

few things symbolize paris and france like the eiffel tower, in french, la tour eiffel, it's therefore used as a symbol of france. named after it's designer, engineer gustave eiffel, the tower is the tallest building in paris, standing 324 meters (1,063 ft) tall. this architectural master piece can be seen from anywhere in the center of the city. la tour eiffel is the best-known monument in all of europe. built in 1889, it has become both a global icon of france and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.


my favorite things to do at la tour eiffel:

1. walking up the 2 levels of stairs(over 600 steps!)and taking pictures from all 3 levels
2. picnicking and sunbathing on the grass during the day 
3. drinking champagne and eating macarons while watching the tower sparkle at night
