Mercredi 20 October

I visited the Eiffel Tower and climbed 43 stories of stairs.













The Eiffel Tower is built of all steel and rivets.
The steel girders are connected with crosses and star shapes and 2.5 million rivets to hold the tower together. 


 The Eiffel Tower was the tallest building in the world when it was built. 

 From the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower you can see all of Paris, including Invalides, a 400 year old domed church with the tomb of the former Emperor Napoleon. 




   I also saw a very famous sculpture by the artist Rodin-- La Penseur.
