Whether
you're lucky enough to have visited Paris or have only ever dreamed of going
there, chances are you know of the French capital's most beloved landmark: the
Eiffel Tower.
The
Eiffel Tower, La Tour Eiffel in French, was the main exhibit of the Paris
Exposition — or World's Fair — of 1889. It was constructed to commemorate the
centennial of the French Revolution and to demonstrate France's industrial
prowess to the world.
