children. Several international organizations and big companies have their offices in the city. Paris is world-known with its neo-classical

The Eiffel tower is the representation of Paris. It is an iron formation erected on the

Eiffel is also well-known for designing the iron backbone of the statue of liberty. The Eiffel tower is the mostly visited building in the globe.

Eiffel tower was struck with lightening in 1902 and 300 feet of the top were rebuilt. Nowadays, the tower has 1660 steps and elevators to the
top.
