The Eiffel Tower
Built in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was given
various offensive nicknames by Parisians.
Even before its construction, the city
authorities signed an agreement with the
architect to dismantle the tower 20 years
later. But, 130 years have passed since then.
300 million euros
will be spent on The programme
to repair and improve the Eiffel
Tower, which began in 2018 and
will last for 15 years
The tower is held
together with
18,038 metal parts
bonded with
2,500,000 rivets
