The Eiffel Tower is an amazing metal structure in the heart of Paris. It sits upon four legs keeping it stable. Who doesn't go to the Eiffel Tower when they go to Paris?
The Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Paris World Fair. Some Parisians didn't like it at first, I mean it is a giant metal structure in the middle of the city. But, the Parisians grew to love the Eiffel tower and it is protected today (apparently quite heavily, based on the armed guards we saw).
We did not want to miss out on this exciting experience. We took the gondola to the second story around seven o'clock (sunset). The view was breathtaking. All of Paris was spread out before our eyes. We could see at least one of Paris's unique landmarks in every direction.
That wasn't the best thing about the Eiffel Tower. If you stay up unitl eight o'clock, then the lights start to turn on. Every hour on the hour, hundreds of lights on the Eiffel tower sparkle creating the coolest light show ever. Thankfully, Master Chef was able to take a video of it.
The Eiffel Tower is clearly not a sight to be missed.
