Eiffel Tower : info and guided tour

Introduction to the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is one of the best-known landmarks in Paris and France. Located on the Champ de Mars in the 7th arrondissement, it overlooks the Left Bank from the address Av. Gustave Eiffel, 75007 Paris. Its instantly recognizable metal silhouette attracts millions of visitors every year, who come to admire the city from its levels.

Built for the 1889 World’s Fair, the tower was imagined by engineer Gustave Eiffel and his team. Initially contested by part of the public, it has become a lasting symbol of Parisian heritage. Its puddled iron structure illustrates the industrial know-how of the late 19th century.

Standing more than 300 meters tall with its antennas, the Eiffel Tower is distinguished by its openwork beams, arches, and slender geometry. It includes several levels open to the public, each offering different views over Paris. Over time, it has also become a major visual landmark for the city.

This monument is famous as much for its architecture as for its cultural role. By day and by night, its lighting and its views over the Seine, the Trocadéro, and the Champ de Mars make it an essential stop. Visitors come here to see one of Paris’s strongest symbols.
