Eiffel's Other Works
Admirers of Eiffel's engineering feats:
LA RUCHE: in Passage Dantzig, Montparnasse. This three-storey circular structure was
designed by Eiffel to be used as a wine rotunda at the Great Exposition of 1900.
LEVALLOIS - PERRET : cemetery, situated in a north- western suburb of Paris, which is
Eiffel's grave.
THE GARABIT VIADUCT: near Ruynes-en-margeride, spanning the Truere river in the
Massif Central, Bridging a valley in a mountainous region like the
Cantal while suspending a train 120 metres above is no task for
the fainthearted but for four years, Eiffel kept at it with gusto.
When the viaduct opened in 1884, it was at the moment the
highest railway bridge in the world.
DOME OF THE OBSERVATOIRE DE NICE: whose ingenious steel structure allows it to move
without friction.
He was also the mastermind behind the glass roof at both Agen and
Toulouse STATIONS as well as crafting the metal shell of the
impressive SYNAGOGUE on Rue des Sevres, which drafted in
Eiffel to extend the premises.
One final piece of Eiffel trivia: is the STATUE OF LIBERTY in New York
