This is a short video of the Eiffel Tower and was captured by mobile. I have filmed the trip going up the tower almost fully but was unable to film the full downward trip and only a small segment is there. The view at the top is unbelievable and I have no words to describe it. You have to be there to experience it. I have only filmed moderately but took many photos. @@ At 3min 11sec pl watch without fail the hourly lighting display of the tower. This is a must view spectacle and anyone visiting the tower must see this.. Lastly I must thank all of you for viewing and writing a few words to my last video. I am so sorry that I was unable to respond individually and wish to thank all of you for it. I will try my best to visit your new videos and hope to catch with you all soon. Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday and a wonderful week ahead :) The Eiffel Tower ============= The Eiffel Tower (/ˈaɪfəl ˈtaʊər/ EYE-fəl TOWR; French: Tour Eiffel, pronounced: [tuʁ‿ɛfɛl] About this sound listen) is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Constructed from 1887–89 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.[3] The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015. The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building, and the tallest structure in Paris. Its base is square, measuring 125 metres (410 ft) on each side. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City was finished in 1930. Due to the addition of a broadcasting aerial at the top of the tower in 1957, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building by 5.2 metres (17 ft). Excluding transmitters, the Eiffel Tower is the second-tallest structure in France after the Millau Viaduct. The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. The top level's upper platform is 276 m (906 ft) above the ground – the highest observation deck accessible to the public in the European Union. The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the climb from the first level to the second. Although there is a staircase to the top level, it is usually only accessible by lift.
