THE EIFFEL TOWER PARIS

The Eiffel Tower, symbol of innovative technique at the end of the 19th century, has maintained its universal image. 
Even if 6 million visitors climb the Tower each year, the number of those who have set eyes on the Tower but never foot coupled with those who know of the Tower but have never even caught a glimpse of the monument are far more numerous. 
Its simplified representation is but an inanimate object, an unchanging reference point. Yet, differing from many other structures built in the past, it is alive, ever changing and evolving.
