The Eiffel Tower
Categories : Leisure, published on : 4/11/23
The Iron Lady is undoubtedly the most famous French figure in the world!
The Eiffel Tower, standing 330 meters tall, was built between 1887 and 1889, under the direction of Gustave Eiffel, for the 1889 Universal Exposition.
During construction, the project came under fire. The intellectual and artistic circles of the time, including Émile Zola, protested against the tower's ugliness, describing it as a "great, pierced giraffe."
But from the moment its construction was completed, it enjoyed immense popular success.
Today, the most visited paid monument in the world welcomes no fewer than 7 million visitors each year.
A must-see during your stay at the Hôtel Le Jardin Le Bréa, the Eiffel Tower offers a splendid view of the capital.
There are two restaurants in the Eiffel Tower, which can be booked separately: the legendary Jules Verne, a Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant by Frédéric Anton located on the 2nd floor, and Madame Brasserie, the newest Parisian brasserie under the direction of chef Thierry Marx, located on the 1st floor.
For a quick bite, snacks are also available on the 1st and 2nd floors.
And don't forget the Pierre Hermé macaron bar on the 2nd floor and the champagne bar at the very top.
