The Eiffel Tower @ Paris

La Tour Eiffel

An iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris.

*****


Recently I travel to Paris, a nice and romantic city. 
The weather is great during the summer, sunny and windy :)

 

The puddled iron structure of the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tonnes, while the entire structure, including non-metal components, is approximately 10,000 tonnes. 



The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building.
Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France, after the Millau Viaduct.

The tower has three levels for visitors. 
The third level observatory's upper platform is at 279.11 m (915.7 ft) the highest accessible to the public in the European Union.

Photos below is taken when I was at the third level of the tower. 






Hope you enjoy the photos here :)



Cheers!
