The Eiffel Tower, the iconic symbol of the capital, built for the Universal Exhibition of 1889, is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year.
On this occasion, come and visit this legendary monument, have lunch or dinner at one of its two restaurants and discover the events that will mark this anniversary occasion.
Until 31 December, the Eiffel Tower is hosting the exhibition « L’épopée tour Eiffel » (The epic Eiffel Tower) which traces the origins and conception of this spectacular and amazing monument through objects, posters, photographs, engravings, boards with interactive animations, film projections, etc. It also invites the public to discover 300 reproductions of the tower and the works of artists inspired by the monument.
This exhibition features eight independent themes (“Structures, bridges, a tower”, “The Tower under construction”, “The Tower in festive colours”, “The Tower and artists”, “The Tower multiplied”, “The Tower, a cinema star”, “The children of the Tower”, and “The Tower in figures”) to visit at your leisure.
