=L'Eiffel Tower=

The Eiffel tower was made by Gustave Eiffel. He also created the Statue of Liberty.



There are 2,500,000 rivets in the Eiffel Tower. The tower metal weighs 7,000 tons, and if you include everything else, it weighs over 10,000 tons. The Eiffel Tower is painted, and they re-paint it every 7 years. It takes 50 tons of paint to re-paint the tower so it doesn't rust. The Eiffel Tower was the tallest building in the world until 1930. In 1909, the tower was going to be torn down for scrap metal. But a telecommunications company wanted to use it for a broadcast tower and the tower was saved. There is a resturant in the top part of the tower called Altitude 95, because of it's sea level. From the very top of the tower, on a clear day, you can see up to 40 miles. The tower was built in different compartments and most of it was built off-site, later to be hauled to where it is today.
