Not much can be said about the Eiffel Tower that has not already been conveyed by decades of poets and artists from all over the world, and yet it still remains as one of the most visited sites in Paris.

Behind-the-scenes tours are available to take visitors into the secret bunkers and control rooms of this architectural marvel; tour guides are also reputed to have an endless array of anecdotes regarding the history of the tower and its significance to the French people.
