Wind is blowing the tower around six to seven centimetres (2-3 inches) at a time. On the second floor, there are more restaurants and shops, as well as an observation area and Jules Verne restaurant. There are museum exhibits on the first floor, a glass floor, changing exhibitions, souvenir shops, and restaurants on the second floor. The Eiffel Tower is divided into three levels: the first floor, the second floor, and the summit (top). It is named after Gustave Eiffel, an engineer who worked on the design and construction of the tower. The first platform is 190 feet above the ground the second platform is 372 feet and the third platform is almost 900 feet up. The French have called the tower La Dame de Fer (The Iron Lady) for a long time. For tickets, go online or to the ticket office located at the top of the tower. Every year, the tower is open for observation 365 days a year, with a few exceptions. Throughout the summer and into the fall, the tower is open until after midnight. Every year, more than 7 million people visit this iconic tower. There are still more than 120 antennas on the tower, broadcasting both radio and television signals. The Eiffel Tower was built as a temporary structure to be removed after 20 years.Īlthough people were initially unconcerned about the tower’s demise, they became less so as time passed. A massive 60 tons of paint were required to cover every inch of the structure to protect it from the elements. The tower required 2.5 million thermally assembled rivets and 7,300 tons of iron to construct. The Eiffel Tower, which was finished in less than two years, was inaugurated on March 31, 1889. It was built in 1887 and is made of wrought iron. It was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution and to demonstrate French industrial prowess. The Eiffel Tower was the main exhibit at the 1889 Paris World’s Fair, also known as the Paris Exposition. The top level’s viewing platform is 276 metres (906 ft) above the ground, making it the highest observation deck in Europe. The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. ![]() The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall and is the second tallest structure in Paris after the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur on Montmartre. The tower is located on the Champ de Mars in the 7th arrondissement and was built in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World’s Fair. You have below the film that was made today.The Eiffel Tower is a moveable landmark in Paris, France. The triangular shape of the garment is more likely to move in the air, like the base jumpers, than to descend vertically, like the paratroopers, it also explains the failure of the test. The problem is that the air exposure surface is far too weak to actually slow the fall, but that's not all. We find in his combination a certain resemblance to the bats he was inspired by. This is the basic principle of jump, an extreme sport practice very dangerous. The combination used was a rubberized canvas with triangular wings with little tension, so that between each limb the air could rush and slow down the fall. What were the defects of the Reichelt combination? Other members of the press were there, and it was they who popularized the jump, bringing it to the present day. It is he who will also film the curious, after the death of Reichelt. A cameraman was filming the adventurer on the first floor, while another was filming the jump from the ground. The badges were at the foot of the tower. That day, many people came to see the feat. The man did not really fly, he fell heavily, barely slowed down, causing a ground impact of 15 to 20 centimeters. 40 seconds of hesitation, for our man who was probably aware of the danger, and a few more seconds for the fall that did not allow the costume to unfold normally. The result did not wait more than 45 seconds. But none took the initiative to prevent the jump, planned with a manikin. He was surrounded by a few police officers whose task was not to hinder the experience, with regard to any curious. ![]() However, the day chosen (February 4, 1912, a day when the temperature was 0 °), at 8am, it is without mannequin that Franz Reichelt appeared on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower. Before he could take off, he had to contact the prefecture of Paris, who agreed to the condition that the jump be done with a mannequin, he had not received the authorization to jump himself. ![]()
