Dominating the capital's skyline at a lofty height of 324 metres, La Tour Eiffel was built as a showpiece entrance arch for the Exposition Universelle , a World Fair commemorating 100 years since the French Revolution. In total, it took 300 workers two years, two months and five days to join together 18,038 pieces of puddled iron using a jaw-dropping 2.5 million rivets.

It's views from the summit that enthral the crowds who rush to pick out the graceful sweep of the Champs- Elysees , the unmissable outli...
