Good to know

Also popularly known as La Dame de Fer (or The Iron Lady), the wrought iron lattice monument became an immediate sensation when it was opened to the public in the late 1880s. Who would have thought that the design that was initially considered unflattering will rise to prominence and become the most iconic structure in human history?!

Gustave’s namesake tower also includes his secret apartment which should not be missed on your Eiffel Tower tour. The legend has that he hosted prominent figures of that time like Thomas Edison.

Even though the tower of Paris is wind resistant, it sways up to 7 cm at its peak. It has a cute little functional post office. You can send mail from there and it will get delivered bearing a unique postmark.
