Eiffel Tower
The plan to build a tower 300 metres high was conceived as part of
preparations for the World's Fair of 1889. With 2 million visitors the
first year and almost 6 million people a year today, the Eiffel Tower is a
real crowd pleaser. At the crossroads of the entire world, more than 200
million visitors have come since its construction.
About Jules Verne
Jules Gabriel Verne (February 8, 1828–March 24, 1905) was a French
author and a pioneer of the science-fiction genre. Verne was noted for
writing about cosmic, atmospheric, and underwater travel before air travel
and submarines were commonplace and before practical means of space travel
had been devised. He is the third most translated novelist in the world,
according to the Index Translationum statistics. More about Jules Verne on
