🙋‍♀️.. That time I was face to face with the Tower 🙀 friends - where would you like to travel to in EUROPE in 24 ? . 💁‍♀️Well... PARIS is always a good idea ! & visiting the Eiffel Tower in person is a dream come true !🩷🎀 . TIPS : ✅If you want to actually GO UP the tower : Buy your tickets MANY months in advance -( we didnt get up there - 30 days didn't do it 😢) ✅For photo shoots: bring a change of clothes cuz you'll get hot & sticky 🤣 from all the hiking/walking to the best VIEW spots ... . HISTORY ✅The tower was started in 1884 & finished for the 1889 world's fair🎡 ✅As the structure nears done- Eiffel's workers went on strike 😮got em back to finish... with incentives ✅Journalists were invited to a banquet on completion of 2nd platform - they gasped w/ awe - road to success now clear ✅This ICONIC wonder was the pre-cursor for the design of ALL towering buildings we have in the modern world today ✅.... and did ya know (?) design details for the legs & inside of the tower were borrowed from 🗽lady liberty🗽 . 💁‍♀️SWIPE right to see a SCENIC live stroll on the river past the tower . . . . . #paristravel #paristrip #paris #instaeurope #europetravel #picoftheday #travelineurope #travelblogger #placestovisit #dreamdestinations #discovertheglobe #travelaway #travelenthusiast #followmetotravel #travelforlife #travelblog #traveldestinations #travelstagram #topdestinations #escapetoeurope #travelover50 #traveladvisor #travelagents #parisisalwaysagoodidea #takemetoparis #eiffeltowerparis #eiffeltowerviews
