Cheap Wall Art | Printable Wall Art - The Eiffel Tower Paris

From far away, the Eiffel Tower looks like a thin metal structure. But there is more to it than meets the eye - its base contains over 7000 pieces of iron held together with 2 million rivets!

From afar, you might think that an impressive feat in architecture has been accomplished when looking at this skyscraper-like tower from below. However, if we look closer and study all 7300+ pieces of steel girders carefully fitted together by millions upon millions of nails or "rivets", one would wonder how such a marvel was even possible since each piece had to be put into place perfectly before they could bond them altogether!

From the Arch de Triumph, you can see Paris's famous Eiffel Tower. The tower was built in 1889 for an international exhibition celebrating 100 years of French Revolution and stands 1,063 feet tall on the Champ de Mars near the Seine River with 324 steps to reach its summit platform.

From a distance away from inside one of many romantic cafes lining Avenue Champs-Elysees or while visiting another historic site at Place De La Concorde or Arc De Triomphe, you can take photos like this impressive shot that shows off France’s most iconic landmark where it is hard to believe this beautiful structure exists because it looks almost fake when viewed up close.
