The Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel tower is the star attraction in Paris, France that to this day receives over six million visitors every single year. The tower stands tall at an impressive 324 meters high and receives a new lick of paint every seven years and it takes around 15 months to finish the paint job. The paint colour used on this impressive structure is actually called “Tour Eiffel brown” and is used in three separate shades with the lightest shade at the top and the darkest shade at the bottom. The Eiffel tower was listed as an historical monument in 1964 and has the names of 72 scientists engraved on it.
