Paris 2

Eifel Tower

 

Named for its designer, Gustave Eifel, it is the most photogenic

sight in all of France.

 

At the time of this photo, Paris was bidding to host the 2012 Olympics.

London was ultimately awarded the bid.

The tower was constructed between 1887-89 for the Exposition Universelle and was originally

intended to stand for only 20 years.  The Paris city government had a change of heart and it

is now the most universally recognized symbol of Paris.
