Did you know also that the 1st steel structure in Asia was built in the PHILIPPINES and it was also Gustav Eiffel who made it. It is called SAN SEBASTIAN CHURCH.
I went up using the stairs. I refused to pay the elevator fee. I was young and healthy. Going up the stairs gave you a different perspective. Reminded me of going up the Statue of Liberty in New York, as an eight years old boy.
You can't go all the way up by stairs. If you want to go to the top you have to use the second elevator. However, you do get an insider's view of the tower on the stairs.
Apparently when built for the "Paris World Exposition", "La Tour d'Eiffel", outraged Parisians, who condemned the "monstrosity".. Yet some years later, when the landmark was scheduled to be demolished, Parisians overwhelmingly demanded that it be kept as a beloved, symbol of "Paris"..!!
No, it was not designed by Eiffel. Eiffel was merely the builder. The architect-designer was a Swiss, Maurice Koechlin who worked for Eiffel. When Koechlin showed him the design Eiffel told him to stop wasting his time so a few years later Koechlin sent in the design for the Great Exhibition of 1889 and out of nearly 900 hopefuls, won.
The tower used the Romanian engineer Panculescu’s system and the primarily cast iron mega structure and steel is coming from Romania, too. Eiffel visited Panculescu in Romania and discussed the project. It is well know, and some plates were fixed on the structure to proof the origin like “Made in Romania” and other information, but in the last few years the French authorities took them off…😅
It is only that important because it is in France. I can imagine if it would stay in my homeland Istanbul Turkey the world would not pay this big attention to it and no one would. It would have been melted to iron long ago. We have so very much more than that rusty piece but no one talks about those.

that's true but it had big public acclaim even though, the artistic and intelectual elites, specially the ones linked to the ecole de beaux arts heavily criticizd it mainly as it would stand out too much from the monochromatic order seen in the haussmannian buildings and the exposd steel was like a no-no at the time, it was mainly seen as an structural elemnt (i am an architecture major but english is not my first language and ive done research on it before but i may have mixed something as i am writing this in somewhat of a hurry, so dont take my words for it)
Every steel piece of this tower was cast at Govijdia, in Transylvania, a former part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I was born in Transylvania, I live here and I'm proud of my country.❤
Among the 300 protestors against the Tour (one for every metre of its height) were Maupassant, Massenet and Gounod. It was to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution, and is one of the few worthy legacies of that abysmal outbreak. Eiffel was the French Brunel- and Brunel was half French.
A key with nearly the whole substance of a bit filed away so it may open a various locks for Paris..to be of great scenery a great monument built by skeleton metal..Thank you Mr. Eiffel..It really stands out.
So many facts I didn't know. Eiffel not the designer, an apartment on top and Parisian s didn't like it but grew to love it, a temporary structure that ended up staying as an icon.
My Brother built a replica of this this on a 1/20 scale In Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal Due to misunderstandings by members of different company's This build of My Brother vould not be fully erected and lies in 2 pieces. Amazingly this is an awesome replica It's an eleven meter Replica That has a platform but cannot be used due to other agendas of the powers that be in Newcastle KZN in South Africa
7 million a year? Do the math It's not possible even if it were open 24 hours a day all year. How big is that elevator and how fast can people go up the stairs? 7 million people might be able to see it from a distance.
I lived and spent time in Paris in the days before Mass horrible tourism. I have never been in the Tower My friends Grandfather had a apartment with a full view
I e been France or Paris before or seen Eiffel Tower always wanted to visit Eurostar or somewhat but hubs always preferred to do other things businesses etc and always in debts
Eifel war Deutscher; Eifel ist ja eine Region in Deutschland. Versehentlich hat er den Eifelturm nicht in Berlin, sondern in Paris gebaut. Es sei den Franzosen gegönnt!! 😂👍💪🌈

Wow!! Now I know... Thanks for sharing my friend ❤❤❤❤
Nice to know ❤❤❤❤
Do you also know that the internal structure of the Statue of Liberty in New York was made by Eiffel?
Non sense Philipines theory. I have seen maximum filipine places names copied from US😂
When you check steel is Made in Romania 👍🇷🇴⚠️🤐

Me to climbed by stairs in a very cold day in January, and this apartment is not a secret apartment. Visitor can see this apartment.
That's awesome. I never been to Europe. How many flights of stairs, were there..🤔
I climbed up inside the statue of liberty when I was in my 20s
I stepped up the Eiffel tower in 1972 as a 12 year old! It was great!
This tower is iconic!

plumbing/bathroom?
@@carolbowen1693 metoo same thought. Possibly drycloset, tanks.
Yes ironic isn’t it. Fun fact : hitler never got to go up to the top of the tower. They cut the cables to the elevators. Before he entered the city.
Made of steel and rusting, will not last for long .
Typical French

Does it have an elevator in it if not how do they reach the top ?
Karma or ?
@@ConnieBrooks-z2r You don’t know it has an elevator ??
@@JamesBond-oe5px In normal English we say "lift" In the American dialect they say "elevator".
@@bolchong-lou4084 Thank you, Professor
There’s a bridge In Manila Philippines built by Eiffel way back during American colonial times. it’s called Jones Bridge
Brod. Filipino nag design ng Jones Bridge. Sya ay si Juan Arellano....
Bakit hirap na hirap tayong mag-aral?
No! And I've been to Paris, you learn something new every day!😊

That's mean...share the pride!!
In my opinion Thomas Edison was a monster. And Nicolas Tesla was a genuine genius.
Gates was the same lives of others genius
100% correct
😊😊
I agree with you 100%
Why is Thomas Edison a monster
It is only that important because it is in France. I can imagine if it would stay in my homeland Istanbul Turkey the world would not pay this big attention to it and no one would. It would have been melted to iron long ago. We have so very much more than that rusty piece but no one talks about those.
@@nursen5156 you re right no one cares about Turkey
I agree
@@nursen5156 Istanbul ex Constantinople was a great Christian city for 15 centuries. since its become Istanbul it has disappeared in the mist of history.
I have been right up to the top and saw that little room, and I knew that Edison was once there. There are pictures of the two .
I was also up there years ago. However, I don't believe that Eiffel actually ever stayed there. Does someone have real proof of that?
there are also mannequins of the two
Tesla stayed there
Been to the top,the view is amazing...
How many steps to the top?
@@romelleabdulaleem283elevator
The view of Paris from the observation deck is absolutely overwhelming. Especially at night.
I’ve seen that room, it’s so freaky when you see it, looks so real 😮
My understanding the Eiffel Tower was a temporary structure and was going to be torn down in the 1890s
Hitler wanted to destroy it...lack of ammunition

That's cool 😎 love it
Someday I will go to paris❤
Venez !
Why not he designed it ..good for him...❤❤❤❤
I ask, How did they get a Baby Grand Piano up there!! That must of been a trip, for the workers..Took it apart...and then put it bacj together ???. ❤
Pianos are a prob. Thank goodness for keyboards ans small organs.
The BEST of Paris ❤️
I visited Paris in ‘88. When I finally went to the tower , I was awestruck, simply beautiful and amazingly huge.
How the heck did he get a Grand piano up there?!?!?
Perhaps they used a really large balloon 🎈
Well, it's no longer a secret now.
It hasn’t ever been one. The narrator is saying that it is secret for drama and suspense.
Was just there in( May 2024). We were kinda impressed and not so impressed with the tower, but we were glad to see it up close and personal.
Funny; I kinda feel the same way about it & have trouble explaining why.

Masonic but exorcised by St. John Paul II in 1997.
Bulgarian Ortodox church Saint Stefan in Istanbul is made of steel, finished in 1898. 500 tonnes and 4 mln rivets.

It is not made with 18,038 Iron it is made with 18,038 galvanized steel square and eco friendly wood venure and bold screw from the garbage
Eiffel also built several diverse buildings in Ñima the markets in Cusco and Iquitos
Magnificent
A key with nearly the whole substance of a bit filed away so it may open a various locks for Paris..to be of great scenery a great monument built by skeleton metal..Thank you Mr. Eiffel..It really stands out.
There are toilets up there been there 😂😂😂
That room is not secret, not hidden. It can be seen by all the tourists who climb to the top. I have been there twice.
He had a creative mind 🇺🇲💯💪🙏👍👌💗🤩😎🤓
Amazing indeed 😮😮😮😮
No bathroom, who will want to live up there each day? A couple of hours, maybe
Not everyone has your bladder problems. Also you can just urinate out the window, nobody will see.
Yes of course 😂 a little room for showing off only. It's in other comments ❤
Yes, I know. I've seen it. And I wouldn't say "hidden" or "secret.". It's heavily publicized.
😅😅
Who knows the reason Eifel Tower was built ?
Monsieur Eiffel should've invited Tesla up. He would've provided a show. WOW !!!
AMAZING ❤❤❤
So many facts I didn't know. Eiffel not the designer, an apartment on top and Parisian s didn't like it but grew to love it, a temporary structure that ended up staying as an icon.
The Eiffel was based on the Blackpool tower in northern England.
I went up and don't understand what's so great
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤beautiful on my bucket list😊
I never knew, thanks for sharing.
Wonder how much movers would charge for moving that piano
I would judge 5 to 10 Thousand.
@@robertthomas6127 thanks for narrowing it down. You must be a govt worker
@@OldmanCrypto100 .. what did you not understand?
I had lunch at the top of the eifel tower on my 16th birthday!!
There's no restaurant on the top so what did you eat a sandwich
its not at the top its more toward upper middle ! read read learn !
It is at the top I've been inside
My Brother built a replica of this this on a 1/20 scale
In Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal
Due to misunderstandings by members of different company's
This build of My Brother vould not be fully erected and lies in 2 pieces.
Amazingly this is an awesome replica
It's an eleven meter Replica
That has a platform but cannot be used due to other agendas of the powers that be in Newcastle KZN in South Africa
The most amazing is that someone sold it twice
It'd be a bugger to paint.
What an ugly finish. Looks unpainted.
Every 7 years
Didn't know this! Thanks🎉
Not iron, steel , quite different .
Genius proves eternal spirit gifts bestowed upon mankind.
Spectacular and Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
I've been to the top three times, love it. Never knew about the little apartment.
it's a tourist attraction, there are Eiffel and Edison mannequins there
7 million a year? Do the math It's not possible even if it were open 24 hours a day all year. How big is that elevator and how fast can people go up the stairs? 7 million people might be able to see it from a distance.

I have never been in the Tower
My friends Grandfather had a apartment with a full view
Been there!! Stunning views...❤❤❤
The plumbing must be amazing
did you know the first Asian made to go up the Eiffel tower is a Filipino. He is Juan Ponce Enrile.
Fascinating!
One of the 7 wonders❤
It was also used by Gustav Tower.
What has happened to the apartment since? Are there any current pictures? This is an amazing post! Thank you so much for sharing!
Should i discuss More About it ? 👀
@@HolyTrails Absolutely! I’m learning so much! Thank you for your post! I hope you will share more interesting facts!
Done with Algeria's Steel
Uh from what I understand the tower is wrought iron. Pure iron or steel would weigh to much 😮
I e been France or Paris before or seen Eiffel Tower always wanted to visit Eurostar or somewhat but hubs always preferred to do other things businesses etc and always in debts
Built by humankind, with living history and proofs...next to pyramid of Giza with so much mystery to date.
It's what makes Paris, Paris🗼
I believed the MACCA most visited in the World
Because it is repainted every 5 years, the paint layers alone weigh over 25 tons.
Tesla helped Eifel design it as an electrical conductor
you know what i think i saw this in a movie i belive so
Been there.
Wow I never knew that. Very interesting 😮
Well it's not secret now.😊
it's not a secret, it's a tourist attraction.
There are Eiffel and Edison mannequins there
The original tower was founded in Africa
That will be turned into a speaker mount so the Muslims can do early morning chants to the Parisians fresh from the third world….
I'm no rich, nay a celebrity icon nor a business tycoon, but once I had the Eiffeil Tower and she had me in the Spring of 1982. - Oraculum.
Sounds a bit 'iffy' to me. The tower is supposed to be being eaten by rust. Not the best recommendation.
Brings a new slant on "Air B&B".
I have seen Eiffel Tower, but I didn’t find it was not attractive
It looks like a platform for fallen angels to practice Hell Diving...
Then u found it pretty? 😂
They told Adolf that the lift was broken so he never made to the top.
It's way more than just a tower it was meant to be a free energy generator
Yes, he lived there with his daughter, and it’s no secret.
How many feet is 300 meters?? Please use feet!!
Please post photos of this private apartment
Rush hour 3 fight scene
The infamous Scott Peterson was there😂
Tokyo has one too
I went up there but never in Paris!
It is not secret. It is clearly marked and well known.
The real secret is that its a free power/energy source
Eifel war Deutscher; Eifel ist ja eine Region in Deutschland. Versehentlich hat er den Eifelturm nicht in Berlin, sondern in Paris gebaut. Es sei den Franzosen gegönnt!! 😂👍💪🌈
A dining experience at the mid level is already breathtaking, imagine the top😅
It is not a apartment it is a office
Imagine getting a piano up there..😮
Good we will tell the Homeless people 😂😂😂😂
Marvellous Engineering
Hope there's an elevator 😂
there are 9 elevators
Woww..wonderful..great in the world..😮😊
FUN FACT: When it was newly finished, people thought it was so ugly that it was given the moniker "The Awful Tower".
In French? I doubt it
