France’s Most Popular Monument The Eiffel Tower

There is no other monument in France, perhaps the world, like the Eiffel Tower — the iconic, wrought-iron lattice structure that stands 1,063 feet tall and was built to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution in 1889. The tower has three levels for visitors, thus three price ranges, with restaurants on the first and second levels, and a top level that measures 906 feet off the ground, making it the highest observation deck in Europe and providing million-dollar views of the city and beyond. The first two decks are accessible by elevator or staircase, the third by elevator only and access to the top level may be restricted during harsh weather or peak periods.
