Every major city in the world has a unique landmark that stands out as a definitive representation of that country’s or city’s personality and culture. New York has the Statue of Liberty, England has Big Ben and Paris has the Eiffel Tower. The tower has become a potent symbol of the French people and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Paris let alone the world.
Situated on the scenic Champs De Mars in the centre of Paris, the Eiffel Tower was built to mark the opening of the Exposition Universelle to celebrate the French Revolution Centennial Celebrations. The tower is the brainchild of the highly creative Gustave Eiffel. Eiffel was an ardent supporter of the furthering of scientific research and innovation and originally built the tower as a base for scientific experiments.
The modern incarnation of the tower is a popular Parisian attraction offering breathtaking views of the city for miles in every direction. The structure is divided into three levels that are accessible by lift. The first floor provides all encompassing views of the surrounding cityscape and is home to the 58 Tour Eiffel. This restaurant provides a family friendly atmosphere by day catering to the steady influx of hungry visitors to the tower. By night the restaurant changes in a chic brasserie overlooking the “City of Lights” as visitors dine on fresh and inspired cuisine.
The second floor is home to one of the most famous restaurants in Paris, the Jules Verne, named in honour of the famous science fiction writer. The restaurant is a Michelin one star premiere eatery with a private lift exclusively for patrons. Visitors can savour contemporary cuisine mixed with traditional favourites that have been a staple on the menu since the restaurant’s opening.
Throughout each of the three floors of the Eiffel Tower are scores of binoculars which allow visitors amazing up-close views of famous Parisian landmarks from the prominence of the tower.
