Excellent Views From The Eiffel Tower
The iconic tower was commissioned for the Paris World’s Fair to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the French Revolution. In addition to being a tourist attraction, it also serves a practical purpose as a radio transmitter since the start of the 20th century. Visitors can ascend to the Observation Deck via pulley lifts and stairs, to be rewarded with a magnificent view of the capital. There are interesting pieces of information posted on each level about the history of the Eiffel Tower. Two restaurants serve the public. Altitude 95 is located on the first floor and Jules Verne, a gastronomic restaurant, is on the second floor. A light show, using flashing lights and searchlights, has lit up the tower every evening since 2000.
