Tour Eiffel - the Tower itself

by OrlandoBR - last update: Nov 24, 2002

Le soleil

Is that the sun, or was it a Japanese tourist with his camera with a super-powerful flash?

Can you see the top?

Tower painting & maintenance

Look out for this guy when you visit the Tower. I guarantee he's still there, in the same place, in the same position...

One more statue

This guy rides in one of the elevators

No, it's not small...

The Eiffel Tower rises about 300 meters from the ground (American VT'ers, VT offers a metric converter tool!)
That is about 3/4 the height of the Empire State Building.
My sister sneaked through the fences to have this picture taken...

Going up on the first of 2 elevators in the ET

 The worst hotel. It isn'tas shown on photos and video. Cubicle, smelly rooms, rude staff. Front desk was not allowed to call a shuttle to airport because they only sell Air France bus. Stay in somewhere else to avoid wasting your money

 Really nice page on Paris. So many things I still have to see in my own city ! I love the galleries too. Parabens !

 You have some great restaurant tips. They will come in handy for my upcoming Paris trip.

 Aaaaah, grey skies in Paris beat sunny skies anywhere else, don't they?! We need to revisit this city. One of these eons...;-)
