✈ Best Travel Ressources To Plan Your Next Trip If you need help planning your next trip, don’t worry. I’ve got you covered! Here are my favourite websites and apps to plan a trip! ✈ How To Find Flights? My favourite website for booking flights is Skyscanner; it is a good comparator for finding the cheapest flights. Google Flight is also a good help when it comes to comparing flights. ✈ Where To Book Accommodations? The best sites to book accommodations are Booking.com or Expedia. They both allow you to collect points for a discount; it’s worth comparing the two as they often have different pricing for the same hotels. Another perk of Booking.com and Expedia is that you can sometimes get bundle deals for flights and accommodations, which can help you save a lot of money. ✈ Best Sites To Book Activities My go-to website when I need to book an activity is GetYourGuide when I can’t get a ticket directly on the website or if it’s easier to go through them. I always check if the price is the same, though, as the whole point is for it to be easier but not more expensive. You can also check out Klook if you need to book more than just activities and would like to get everything from the same website—(i.e. transport cards, car rental, hotel…). ✈ Other helpful travel resources – Radical Storage: If you need a place to keep your luggage for an extended period when you travel, I recommend using them. It was a great help when we needed a place to keep our luggage safely while we left the city for a few days. – TheTrainline : If you love to travel by train like me, then TheTrainline needs to be your go-to website for train travel in Europe. It is very reliant and easy to use. ————————————————————————————————————- Disclaimer: This resources box contains affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission if you book anything through my links at no additional cost.

20. “My lifetime’s memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris.” ~ Roger Ebert

22. “Hand in hand from the top of the Eiffel Tower, among the first. We were respectable in those days. Now it’s too late. They wouldn’t even let us up.” ~ Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot

23. “It was immensely awkward. If the streets looked sewn together with a neat hand, la Tour Eiffel was the ungainly needle pinning it all into place.

Gustave Eiffel Quotes

Gustave Eiffel was a French civil engineer.  He is, of course, best known as the man who built the Eiffel Tower.

His success with the creation of the Eiffel Tower earned him the nickname “magician of iron”.

Here are a few quotes from the illustrious Gustave Eiffel which show how he felt about design — you can see how passionate he was about his craft!

Paris quote Gustave Eiffel

24. ““I ought to be jealous of the tower. She is more famous than I am.”     ~ Gustave Eiffel

(This is one of the best funny Eiffel Tower quotes.  It shows that Eiffel had a sense of humor –and humility — about his creation)

25. “The first principle of architectural beauty is that the essential lines of a construction be determined by a perfect appropriateness to its use.” – Gustave Eiffel

26. “It seems to me that it had no other rationale than to show that we are not simply the country of entertainers, but also that of engineers and builders called from across the world to build bridges, viaducts, stations and major monuments of modern industry, the Eiffel Tower deserves to be treated with consideration.” ~ Gustave Eiffel

27. “Well, I think the curves of the four pillars of the monument, as the calculations have provided them,… give it a great sense of force and beauty.” ~ Gustave Eiffel

28. “Being the most striking manifestation of the art of metal structures by which our engineers have shown in Europe, it [the Eiffel Tower] is one of the most striking of our modern national genius.” ~ Gustave Eiffel

29. “Can one think that because we are engineers, beauty does not preoccupy us or that we do not try to build beautiful, as well as solid and long lasting structures? Aren’t the genuine functions of strength always in keeping with unwritten conditions of harmony? … Besides, there is an attraction, a special charm in the colossal to which ordinary theories of art do not apply.” ~ Gustave Eiffel

Patriotic Eiffel Tower Quote from Gustave Eiffel, superimposed on a blue, white, and red French flag waving in the breeze.

30. “The French flag is the only one to have a staff a thousand feet tall.” ~ Gustave Eiffel

31. “Without tracing back to the Tower of Babel , one can observe that the very idea of building a very tall tower has long haunted human imagination. That kind of victory over the formidable law of gravity that tethers man to the ground has always appeared to him a symbol of the force and the challenges overcome.” ~ Gustave Eiffel

Quotes about Eiffel Tower History

Eiffel’s unique design won the competition to build a monument for the 1889 International Exposition.

Did you know that the Eiffel Tower was meant to be a temporary structure?  What a loss that would have been!

Luckily for us, plans changed and we still have the Eiffel Tower to grace the Paris skyline! 

Over the decades since its construction, the Eiffel Tower has played a central role in Paris and historical events.

32. “Though it may be hard to believe today, the Eiffel Tower was initially met with derision by many Frenchmen, some of whom compared it to the Tower of Babel and complained that the “useless and monstrous” structure would obscure treasures such as Notre Dame.” ~ Charles River Editors, The Eiffel Tower: The History of Paris’ Most Famous Landmark

33. “Men flocked to see it and ascended it as it was a novelty and of unique dimensions. It was the toy of the exhibition. So long as we are children we are attracted by toys, and the tower was a good demonstration of the fact that we are all children attracted by trinkets. That may be claimed to be the purpose served by the Eiffel Tower.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

34. “When the Germans occupied Paris, they housed a beacon light in the Tower to guide their night planes. The victorious United States Army requisitioned this landmark as a radar transmission point.” ~ Maynard Owen Williams

35. “After the occupation of Paris, Hitler visited Paris, which of course was a great jewel for him, and he wanted to go up on the Eiffel Tower and gaze down upon the city of Paris, which he’d conquered. For some reason the elevators mysteriously stopped working that day. Some people say it might have had to do with the French resistance. So he couldn’t go up.”  ~ Joe Harris  

(Tip: If you’re a fan of historical fiction, check out the novel “Paris” by Edward Rutherfurd.  It’s a meaty novel spanning centuries of history in Paris, and one key storyline focuses on the construction of the Eiffel Tower.)

More Quotes about the Eiffel Tower

Well, while I love it, the Eiffel Tower isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

Here are a few Eiffel Tower quotes from those who apparently weren’t that impressed…

Quote about the EIffel Tower by William Morris, superimposed on an image of the Eiffel Tower against a blue sky with pink clouds.

36. “When you are on top you are on the only spot in Paris where you can’t see the damned thing.” ~ William Morris, on why he spent so much time on the Eiffel Tower.

37. “It seems to be saying perpetually; ‘I am the end of the nineteenth century; I am glad they built me of iron; let me rust.’ … It is like a passing fool in a crowd of the University, a buffoon in the hall; for all the things in Paris has made, it alone has neither wits nor soul.” ~ Hilaire Belloc

38. “But Paris, all in all, isn’t what it used to be, ever since that pencil sharpener, the Eiffel Tower, has been sticking up in the distance, visible from every angle.” ~ Umberto Eco, The Prague Cemetery

39. “I haven’t seen the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre. I haven’t seen anything. I don’t really care.” ~ Tyra Banks

Man has been here 32,000 years. That it took a hundred million years to prepare the world for him is proof that that is what it was done for. I suppose it is, I dunno.

I reckon they would, I dunno.

What an immense impression Paris made upon me. It is the most extraordinary place in the world!

It's all been downhill since then.

Can one think that because we are engineers, beauty does not preoccupy us or that we do not try to build beautiful, as well as solid and long lasting structures?

12 Interesting Facts and Secrets About the Eiffel Tower

Explore the history, science, and secrets of Paris' most famous landmark.

tour eiffel quotes

The Eiffel Tower — or, la Tour Eiffel — has long been one of the world's most recognizable landmarks, symbolizing the romance and ingenuity of the City of Light . 

Designed as the centerpiece of the 1889 World's Fair, the Tower was meant to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution and to show off France's modern industrial prowess on a world stage. 

And that it did. The tower's construction, finished after two years, two months, and five days, was considered a marvel of precision and speed. Gustave Eiffel's civil engineering firm used 7,300 tons of iron and 2.5 million rivets , and the result stood triumphant over the Champs de Mars, receiving more than two million visitors during the fair. 

The Tower’s now-famous silhouette has been  emulated around the world  in places like Las Vegas, Prague, Tianducheng, China, and, of course, Paris, Texas. The design wasn’t without its detractors , however — a "Protest against the Tower of Monsieur Eiffel,” signed by the likes of Guy de Maupassant, Alexandre Dumas fils , and other well-known artists, was published in the newspaper Le Temps before the project’s completion. The letter argued that the tower would be “a gigantic black factory chimney, its barbarous mass overwhelming and humiliating all our monuments and belittling our works of architecture, which will just disappear before this stupefying folly.”

In defiance of such protests, the Eiffel Tower did see the light of day and has stood the test of time. It remains one of the most visited monuments in the world, welcoming almost seven million visitors a year and more than 300 million people since its debut. It has changed over the years, with the addition of lighting, fresh coats of paint, and numerous installations that have come and gone. 

And there’s still more to this landmark than meets the eye. Despite the incredible number of people who have visited since it opened, La Dame de Fer still has a few secrets to share.  

There’s a penthouse apartment at the top.

Gustave Eiffel reserved the uppermost level of the tower for himself, where he hosted famous guests like Thomas Edison in a private apartment that he designed. The space has since been transformed into a recreation of Eiffel's office, complete with wax figures of himself, his daughter, and Edison, and it's open for the public to tour.

Gustave Eiffel didn’t design the tower.

While the tower is named for Eiffel, it was actually Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier — two engineers who worked for his company — who designed the structure. They also commissioned French architect Stephen Sauvestre to work on the appearance of the project in order to quell public concerns about the harsh, utilitarian nature of the original design. They ultimately beat out more than 100 other projects in a contest to choose the main attraction of the World's Fair.  

The Eiffel Tower was supposed to be torn down after 20 years.

The tower was built with the intent of showing off France's industrial prowess during the World's Fair, but the plan was to tear it down after 20 years. However, Eiffel cleverly put a radio antenna and wireless telegraph transmitter in the tower. After proving radio’s usefulness to the government in 1910, Eiffel was granted a 70-year extension to his lease. By 1980, of course, the tower had become an indelible symbol of both Paris and France, and it was in no danger of demolition.

The Eiffel Tower was almost destroyed during World War II.

In August 1944, as the Nazis were losing control of occupied Paris, Adolf Hitler commanded his generals to level the city. Plans were drawn up to mine the Eiffel Tower with explosives. Thankfully, Allied troops swooped in before the order could be carried out. Subsequent air raids over Paris caused significant damage, but the Eiffel Tower survived the war intact.

The Eiffel Tower is a cousin of sorts to the Statue of Liberty.

As sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi was designing “Liberty Enlightening the World”, he called upon his mentor, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, to design the statue’s internal framework. After Viollet-le-Duc died in 1879, Bartholdi turned to Eiffel and Koechlin. They proved their iron expertise with Lady Liberty before moving on to the Iron Lady.

The Eiffel Tower has been home to both a post office and a theater. 

The tower has been home to several businesses throughout the years, many of which are now gone. These include the newspaper “Le Figaro”, which had an office on the second floor for six months during the 1889 World's Fair, a post office tucked into the first floor, and a wooden theater on the first floor designed by Sauvestre.

The Eiffel Tower doubled as a scientific laboratory.

Eiffel, an avid scientist, housed a meteorology lab on the tower's third floor. He was known to perform studies in physics and aerodynamics there, even building a wind tunnel at the foot of the structure. Eiffel opened the doors of the laboratory for other scientists to use for their experiments as well.

The Eiffel Tower moves.

The massive iron structure is wind resistant and will sway during a storm. Wind isn't the only thing that can make the enormous tower move, though — the heat of the sun causes the iron to expand , making the Tower grow a few centimeters during the summer months. The tower will also lean an average of six inches away from the sun, as the one side facing the direct light heats up faster than the other three sides.

The Eiffel Tower is covered in the names of scientists.

The names of French scientists and engineers working in the 19th century were not forgotten by history — not only are they attached to several Parisian streets, but 72 of them are also engraved on the Eiffel Tower. The tributes were painted over in the early 20th century, but thanks to a restoration effort in the late 1980s, they are once again visible. Eagle-eyed visitors can see names like Foucault, Dumas, and Perrier cut into the iron surrounding the tower's first floor.

It takes a lot of work to keep the Eiffel Tower looking good.

Every seven years, workers apply around 60 tons of paint to the tower. This not only keeps La Dame de Fer looking good, but it also helps keep the iron from rusting.

The Eiffel Tower’s sparkling lights are copyrighted art. 

The Tower’s first light show coincided with the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in 1925. Automaker Andre Citröen financed a 200,000-bulb show that featured a shower of stars, alternating Zodiac symbols, comets, and (naturally) his car brand’s name at the finale. Another show, featuring 336 yellow-orange spotlights, came sixty years later , but the now-famous sparkling light show, consisting of 20,000 bulbs, first lit up the night sky New Year’s Eve 1999 to ring in the new millennium. While the Tower itself is in the public domain , its illumination is protected by copyright under French law . However, don’t call your lawyer just yet — this only applies to pictures taken for professional use. You’re free to share any personal pictures of the Eiffel Tower and its lights as you please.  

There’s a Champagne bar at the top.

If you're brave enough to climb the stairs to the top of the tower, reward yourself with a glass of Champagne from the Champagne Bar . There's nothing like a glass of bubbly with a spectacular view.

You are currently viewing Eiffel Tower in Paris: 22 Fun facts and history

  • Post category: Facts and history / Paris & Île-de-France
  • Post author: Nassie Angadi

She goes by many names. La Tour Eiffel or la Dame de Fer (“The Iron Lady”) in French, and of course the Eiffel Tower to the rest of the world. I call her “she” as opposed to “it” because that is how she is referred to in French.

Instantly recognizable, the Eiffel Tower has become the symbol of not only Paris, but also all of France . But did you know though, that as a towering symbol, Parisians detested this “ugly modern pile of junk”?

These days we can’t imagine a world without the Eiffel Tower, a French landmark with no equal. As a local in Paris , I tend to instinctively look for her after coming out of the underground metro , to gauge where I am and which direction I’m heading towards.

What a difference a few decades makes. Today, tourists the world over flock to the Eiffel Tower to take in the views from all around and its observation decks. With expansive views stretching from the Arc de Triomphe to Bastille , millions of visitors put it on their bucket list every year, making it one of the top tourist attractions in France .

So let’s plunge into the beginning shall we, with a few facts about the Eiffel Tower in Paris, shall we? Allons-y!

1. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel.

The Eiffel Tower is named after its engineer, Gustave Eiffel who was from the French city of Dijon .

Eiffel was not just any guy. He had constructed several buildings, bridges and viaducts around France before the Eiffel Tower.

He was also just coming off of another large French project building the metal framework with sculptor Frédéric Auguste Barthold for the Statue of Liberty which opened in 1886.

A smaller version of the Statue of Liberty can be found a few 100 yards away from the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Pont de Grenelle bridge .

2. It took 2 years to construct.

Construction of the Eiffel Tower started on 26th January 1887, and was completed in 2 years, 2 months and 5 days, a massive technological feat.

Each of the 18,000 pieces used to construct the Tower were specifically designed and calculated, traced out to an accuracy of a tenth of a millimetre and then attached together using 2,500,000 rivets.

Along with Eiffel, the names of 72 engineers, scientists, and mathematicians who contributed to its construction are engraved on the side of the tower.

3. It was built for the World’s Fair in 1889.

In an era when world fairs were a real spectacle , the Eiffel Tower was built as a centerpiece for the 1889 World Fair in Paris .

Nearly 2 million people visited Paris during that World Fair, by all accounts a complete success. At the time, the Eiffel Tower was the tallest tower in the world and people were keen to admire this architectural masterpiece.

Amongst the famous visitors in 1889 were several royals including:

  • British Crown Prince Albert-Victor
  • King Alexander III of Russia
  • Archduke Charles Ferdinand of Austria
  • King Oscar II of Sweden
  • King Leopold II of Belgium

These days, it is estimated 7 million people visit the tower annually.

4. It was supposed to be a temporary structure.

The Tour Eiffel was supposed to be temporary as it was supposed to be dismantled within 20 years.

About 80% of the funding for the tower had come from Gustave Eiffel himself, and so the 20-year lease of the property was to allow him to recuperate his investment by selling tickets, exhibitions, etc.

He didn’t need that long however, just 6 months after it opened when he broke even on his investment.

5. Parisians hated it.

Today the Eiffel Tower may be a symbol of this romantic City of Lights we know as Paris, but when construction was going on, the project was detested.

On Valentine’s Day in 1887, a group of famous Parisian artists and intellectuals signed the following letter that ran in the Le Temps newspaper:

“We come, writers , painters , sculptors, architects, passionate lovers of the hitherto intact beauty of Paris, to protest with all our strength, with all our indignation, in the name of little-known French taste, in the name of art and French history threatened, against the erection, in the heart of our capital, of the useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower, which public malignancy, often imbued with common sense and the spirit of justice, has already baptized with the name of “Babel Tower”. It suffices, moreover, to realize what we are advancing, to imagine for a moment a vertiginously ridiculous tower, dominating Paris, as well as a gigantic and black factory chimney, crushing Notre-Dame with its barbarous mass. The Sainte-Chapelle , the Saint-Jacques tower, the Louvre , the dome of the Invalides , the Arc de Triomphe, all our humiliated monuments, all our shrunken architecture, which will disappear in this astonishing dream.  And for twenty years we will see the entire city stretch out, still quivering with the genius of so many centuries, we will see the odious shadow of the odious bolted sheet metal column stretch like a stain of ink. La protestation des Artistes – Le Temps du 14 février 1887

A French author named Guy de Maupassant hated it so much, he decided to make a statement: he ate lunch on the second floor there everyday. As he said, it was the only place in all of Paris from where he didn’t have to look at it blighting the landscape.

Now, I should note that this sort of protest is not really unusual for French people. Other Parisian landmarks like the Louvre pyramid , Centre Pompidou , and Tour Montparnasse were all detested as they were constructed. (As a Parisian, I can confirm Tour Montparnasse remains a blight on this city.)

6. It was used for science and radio antennas.

Gustave Eiffel might have suspected that his tower was not going to get a warm reception, so he had a plan to prove its usefulness. One of the most interesting facts about the Eiffel tower is that the Iron Lady was not to be just some pretty young thing, it was to become a tool for studying science.

Meteorological, astronomical, physics and telegraph experiments were conducted in the tower. With a passion for aerodynamics, all sorts of scientific apparatus was installed (barometers, anemometers, lightning conductors etc.)

Notably he even Thomas Edison there, who offered him his famous “spectacle” class M type Phonograph.

He also erected a radio antenna on top of the tower. The value of the tower in sending and receiving wireless messages became particularly important to the French military, which is why the tower continued to stand after its 20 year initial lease expired in 1910.

7. It used to be the tallest structure in Paris and the world.

In a city which doesn’t have many skyscrapers, the Eiffel Tower is a prominent 324-meter-tall structure. It was actually slightly shorter when it was built, with the difference being more modern antennas added to the top.

For 41 years, the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world, until the Chrysler Building in New York was completed in 1930, topping out at 1046 feet.

In 1957, an antenna was added to increase the Eiffel Tower’s height by 67 feet, making it slight taller. However, by that time, the Empire State Building in New York had become the tallest in the world at 1454 feet.

Antennas keep being added to the Eiffel tower, including a new one in 2022, but the days of being the “tallest” have long passed.

8. It has a lot of steps to get to the top.

It was the tallest structure in France until the construction of a military transmitter in the town of Saissac in 1973. With several staircases, there are 1665 steps from bottom to the top floor. 

9. It has 5 elevators.

If 1665 steps seems like too much walking for you, there are 5 elevators from the ground esplanade to second floor along with several sets of stairs, and another two elevators from second floor to the top of the tower.

The Eiffel Tower was supposed to be purely “Made in France” until the engineers discovered that the only elevators using hydraulic technology to go up and down the sloping sides, were from the U.S.A. In order to solve this paperwork problem, they simply made the Otis Brothers honorary French citizens. 

10. There is an apartment at the top.

Location, location, location. If you are looking for an apartment with a view on the west side of the city, this is it. Gustave Eiffel built himself an apartment at the top of the Tower, though it is not really one he lived in for any period of time.

Built as a place to welcome visitors and dignitaries, the apartment is around 100 sq meters (1076 sq feet). Although that sounds somewhat large, at least when compared to the size of expensive Parisian apartments , it does not have a bedroom, and a large portion of it is occupied by an elevator cabin and other technical installations.

The apartment is at times available for tours, with wax sculptures of Gustave Eiffel, his daughter Claire, and Thomas Edison. There is a living room with a table, a couch, a piano and three small desks, a kitchen, a bathroom with a sink, and a separate toilet cubicle.

It was primarily designed to comfortably accommodate notable guests and for Gustave Eiffel to work on scientific experiments. But there is a wrap-around balcony!

11. It was used as a transmitter during WWI.

Being a radio antenna tower, the Tour Eiffel was used as a transmitter during WWI between 1914-1918, to jam German radio communications and to hinder their advance.

While much of France was under German occupation, Paris remained a refuge for soldiers from the French and the Allied powers army units. The Eiffel tower thus remained safe. You can read more facts about Paris here.

12. It was almost destroyed in WWII.

It’s existence was under greater thread during WWII when Paris was fully occupied by German forces in 1940. Hitler visited Paris that same year, and wanted to hang a German Reich flag from the top. Unluckily for him, the tower’s lift cables were mysteriously cut right before he could do so.

Towards the end of the war, in 1944, as the Allies approached Paris, Hitler ordered the German General in charge of Paris to demolish the Eiffel tower and other parts of the city as part of their retreat. The General refused and the Eiffel Tower and Paris could finally breathe a huge sigh of relief after 4 long years under threat.

13. It has a 3 restaurants.

If you are feeling a bit peckish when you get to the top of the Eiffel Tower, never fear because there are 3 restaurants within the tower. (You might fear for your wallet however.)

For a snack, there is the Buffets one the 1st and 2nd floor which has snack food for the whole family. They also offer takeaway.

Then there is the Jules Verne (named after the famous French author ) on the 2nd floor, which serves classics of gastronomical French cuisine. It is a Michelin-starred restaurant, so expect to be dressed appropriately.

And finally, right at the top, is a Bar à Champagne, which along with various types of champagne , also offers non-alcoholic drinks for those who are looking for a view without a tipple.

14. It has an ice skating rink in winter.

In winter time, there is a small ice skating rink installed on the 1st floor of Eiffel Tower, giving expansive views of the city.

You do have to pay to access the 1st floor, but once you get up there, access to rink, as well as ice skate rental, is free.

15. It expands and contracts.

The Eiffel tower looks pretty stable, but it has a secret. It expands around 15cm (6inches) in the summer heat and contracts in the winter.

Not to worry though, Gustave Eiffel’s engineering has stood the test of time, and these adjustments were taken into account in its construction.

16. Nighttime photos of the Eiffel Tower are illegal.

If you happen to be near the Eiffel Tower as the sun goes down, you will notice that lights go on every evening on the Eiffel Tower. There is usually a small light show once upon the hour, until past midnight.

However, you cannot a actually publish photos of the Eiffel tower lit up at night because it is illegal. The lighting is considered a copyrighted art installation, and thus belongs to the artist.

17. Replicas of the Eiffel Tower are all over the world.

You have definitely seen the Eiffel Tower replica in Las Vegas, but have you seen the one in Shenzhen, China?

There are over 50 different replicas and derivatives of the Eiffel Tower, including a pretty good facsimile in the town of Paris, Texas in the U.S.A.

18. It is repainted every 7 years.

If you are wondering why the Iron Lady still looks so spritely after 100+ years, it is because it is regularly repainted. When it opened in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was a reddish-brown color. A few years later it was repainted in a yellow-brown color. In 1968, the powers-that-be finally selected a specially mixed “Eiffel Tower Brown” which is the color it is today.

Every seven years, a grand chantier takes place, using about 60 tonnes of paint to bring the Eiffel Tower back to its full glory.

19. Aviators have tried to fly under the arch.

Many an aviator has tried flying under the arches of the tower, not always successfully. In 1926, Leon Collet died after a failed attempt. In 1944, an American fighter pilot is believed to have passed under the Tower in his to chase down a German fighter plane. 

The most recent attempt was in 1991, when a stunt-plane pilot on a Sunday at dawn.

20. A conman sold the Eiffel Tower.

In 1925, a conman named Victor Lustig chanced upon a newspaper article discussing the problems faced with maintaining the Eiffel Tower, which gave him inspiration for a new con. At the time, the monument had begun to fall into disrepair, and the city was finding it expensive to maintain.

He posed as a government official and succeeded in “selling” the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal. When his first buyer, André Poisson, discovered he was duped, he was so ashamed that he didn’t notify the authorities. So Lustig “sold” it, again. This time however, the French authorities were alerted and Lustig fled to the U.S. to escape prosecution.

21. Charles de Gaulle wanted to move it.

In keeping with its world fair origins, French President Charles de Gaulle tried to arrange for the tower to be dismantled and relocated to Montreal for the World Expo 1967.  (This was part of his push to have French-speaking Quebec separate from the rest of Canada. Thankfully, neither event happened!)

22. There is a famous poem about it.

A wonderful poem many French children learn in primary school is Maurice Carême’s La Tour Eiffel . Carême is Belgian not a French poet , but it remains a lovely poem about Paris nonetheless.

Frise des 72 savants

Whose are the 72 names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower and why are they there

Thursday 18 June 2020

Modified the 27/12/23

The first floor of the Tower is encircled by a large continuous beam, punctuated by consoles which support the balcony. In the spaces thus created, Gustave Eiffel had the names of scholars inscribed in golden capital letters 60 centimeters high, large enough to be read from the ground. Eighteen names are thus written on each side, in a random order. In this way, he placed his Tower under the auspices of science and progress as part of commemorations of the 100th anniversary the French Revolution, of which his Tower was one of the most visible expressions. Several considerations determined the choice of these scholars and engineers. They are all French and all lived and worked between 1789 and 1889. All of them had passed away by the time the Tower was inaugurated, except Hippolyte Fizeau, who died in 1896 and to whom we owe the precise measurement of the speed of light. The chemist Chevreul died on April 9, 1889 at the age of 103. The last born was General Perrier, a geographer and mathematician, born in 1833 and who died in 1888.

A scientific pantheon

There are scientists, such as Ampère or Gay-Lussac, civil engineers, such as Flachat and Polonceau, railway specialists such as Perdonnet and Clapeyron, manufacturers such as Schneider for steel and Vicat for cement, entrepreneurs and industrialists such as Seguin (a specialist in suspension bridges), Triger (a specialist in river foundations) and Cail or Gouin (builders who had competed with Eiffel for many years), and developers such as Belgrand (responsible for the sanitation system in Paris). All disciplines are represented : mathematics (Cauchy, Fourier), physics, the most represented discipline with 17 names (Lavoisier, Fresnel, Laplace), mechanics (Navier), astronomy (Le Verrier), agronomy (Chaptal), electricity (Coulomb), natural sciences (Cuvier), chemistry (Lavoisier), mineralogy (Haüy), medicine (Bichat) and even photography (Daguerre) and ballooning (Giffard). Some 34 are graduates of the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique (Polytechnic School). 

Frise des 72 savants

No more than 12 letters

Another criterion was the length of the names. Given the space available, each name could not contain more than twelve letters (Lechatellier), omitting the first name. For this reason, various scholars were not selected, such as Étienne Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire. Unfortunately, there are no women among these 72 names.   Crowned with the names of illustrious scholars, the Eiffel Tower becomes a kind of scientific pantheon celebrating the power of the human mind, and not only that of construction and industrial technologies. 

Bertrand Lemoine is an architect, engineer and historian. He was a research director at the CNRS and general manager of the Atelier International du Grand Paris. He is an internationally recognized specialist in the history and current events of architecture, construction, the city and heritage in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in Paris, Greater Paris and the Eiffel Tower. He is the author of forty-three books and several hundred articles on these subjects. He is currently a consultant on architectural, urban, digital and energy issues.
