Paris - Eiffel Tower















Looking up at a mass of steel.






























We walked to the second level (wasnt as hard as you would imagine even though it was 328 steps to the first level and then 340 steps to the second level) and we then took the lift to the top.
Beautiful building from every angle.
The building is 324 meters high and was the tallest building in the world from when it was built in 1889 until 1930.
Every 7 years or so the tower is repainted and they use 50-60 tonnes of paint each time!!
