An Eiffel Tower Apartment
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most visited landmarks on the planet. It draws millions of people to the streets of Paris every year, shining bright in the evenings and standing tall in the days for visitors to admire and enjoy. It’s a magnificent structure, but most people only see the crisscrossing beams of metal, without noticing the hidden apartment nestled near the top.

At the height of about 1,000 feet, the architect of the Eiffel Tower, Gustave Eiffel, decided to build himself his own private apartment. After all, if he was building such a beautiful and impressive building, why shouldn’t he get to live in it too? Quite unlike the hard metal exterior of the tower, the apartment is a cozy and cute place, decorated with wooden furniture and colorful wallpaper. Still, Eiffel never rented it out and only rarely allowed guests to visit.
