When in Paris，never miss the Eiffel Tower!
In 1887 when the construction of the Eiffel Tower started，more than 300 celebrities including famous writer Maupassant were against the building of this ugly tower．But two years later，the Eiffel Tower became the most classic architecture in the exhibition that year．And now after over 100 years since its building，the tower can bring more than 1.5 billion euros to Paris annually．Almost every visitor to Paris will come to Eiffel to have a bird’s eye view for the city．Maybe，such an astonishing change is also beyond the expectation of its designer，Gustave Eiffe1．
Below is some information about visiting the Tower.
