Photo:Paris – The Eiffel Tower

February 22, 2012 By Jillian

The Eiffel Tower is situated in Paris. It is also known as, quite popularly, the Iron lady. This tower is the tallest building in Paris. This tower has a height of 324m (1,063 feet). The Eiffel Tower is made of wrought iron and is one of the most recognizable monuments in the entire world. It has become the global face of Paris and France and a major tourist attraction for people around the world. It is the most visited monument among the paid monuments of the world.

Every year, tens of thousands of tourists come to Paris just to see the Eiffel tower. The Eiffel tower is a beautiful building from a photographer’s perspective and its positioning in the center of the city makes for a very picturesque setting. In this photograph we can see a distant view of the Eiffel Tower, with the tower in the backdrop of some fountains, which has made this photo very interesting and beautiful.

IF YOU GO: If you do get a chance to visit this beautiful example of human creativity and excellent architecture then you must try to experience the thrill of standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower and looking below from such an intimidating height.   Plenty of apartments in Paris have views of the famous monument, you might want to choose based on view!
