The Eiffel Tower is a very famous tower in Paris, France. It was named after
the engineer who designed it, Alexandre Eiffel. The tower was built in 1889.
Alexandre Eiffel was asked to build the tower when France decided to have a
big fair to exhibit its goods and wares. The tower was located in the middle of the
fair as a special attraction. When the structure first started to take shape, the
people of France did not like it. They thought it looked like a giant skeleton and
was not attractive at all. However, when the tower was finally completed and
lighted up at night, the people quickly changed their minds. It was an
enchanting sight and now looked like a tower made of lace.
The Eiffel Tower is sometimes considered one of the seven wonders of the
modern world. It is 300 meters high and people can take an elevator all the way
to the top. From the tower, they can get a marvelous view of the city and the
River Seine which runs through it. ( http
