Tourist Attraction near Avenue de Tourville

Eiffel Tower

Built from January 28, 1887 to March 1889 to serve the Exposition Universelle, a World's Fair to commemorate 100 years of the French Revolution (1789-1889). After finishing, the work is 324m in total high, with the official name of the Eiffel Tower - Tour Eiffel ( the nick name is La dame de fer, the iron lady)

The initial position of the tower was considered at the shore of Seine river or close to Trocadero Palace, today Chaillot Palace. Finally, they decided to build the tower at the Champ-de-Mars, as a gateway of the exhibition. The tower 300 meters higher in iron and steel idea had caused bitter debate between two sides. Someone wanted to maintain tradition because they were afraid that the massive steel work would be a black point on the sky of Paris. While others were excited about the thought: “France will be the only country with more than 300m high tower”. Indeed, the Eiffel Tower also held the title of tallest tower until 1930, when the Chrysler Building was inaugurated in New York.

Nowaday, this work is one of the most tourist attracting point in the world. Moreover, it is an air observatory, radio and tv stations, and also a source of inspiration for artists.

This is also the burial site of Napoleon Bonaparte and many heroes such as Vauban, Turenne, Napoleon II...

Rows of the Invalides were built perpendicular to each other and symmetrical east-west, forming 15 yards and small gardens inside. The church is in the south with 101 meters in high of top dome. The great orchestral was built from 1679 to 1687 and was repaired during the period from 1955 to 1957.
