Bonjour! Have you ever wanted to see what’s happening in Paris? Well, if you do, this is the right place! In this article we will be looking into the Eiffel Tower! We used the Google Earth App to access the Eiffel Tower!
In 1889, Paris wanted to celebrate the French Revolution. Many artists planned for a monument to be built in the middle of Paris. A man named Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel decided to help with the tower. Everybody thinks it was Alexandre’s idea, but it was one of his employees. The man was Maurice Koechlin. Koechlin was the one who came up with the concept. He had also helped with the Statue Of Liberty.
The problems were that in 1909, the Eiffel Tower was almost torn down. Another time it survived was September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945. Can you guess what was happening? World War 2! Hitler initially ordered to bring down the city’s most cherished symbol, but the command never came to life. Something the men had to do was cut the elevator cables so people couldn't go to the top and get hurt.
The Eiffel Tower still lives today, but it’s slowly losing inches. There are so many lights on it at night. If you ever get the chance to see the Eiffel Tower, take it!
