They thought it was too ugly and called it a scar on the face of Paris.

The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. It was controversial because of its modernist style, but now she is the undisputed symbol of Paris. If you want to enjoy the beauty of Paris, it is best to stand in the 324 m high Eiffel Tower.

The top of the tower could be reached by elevator or stairs to overlook the whole of Paris. It is recommended to visit the tower in the evening so you can see Paris in the evening and night lighting. Or just lie down on the large lawn behind the tower, with the tower standing in front of you. The tower will flash for 10 minutes every evening, and the word "romantic" couldn’t begin to describe the beautiful scenery.
