The iconic Eiffel Tower was open to the public in Paris on March 31, 1889. To mark the 126th anniversary of the public opening, Google has dedicated a doodle on its homepage.
The 324 meter Eiffel Tower is the tallest structure in Paris, and the
doodle features a bunch of Gallic workmen constructing the tower. The
workmen seem to be happy and quite involved in their work seemingly
unaware of the dangers of working at such heights.
The Eiffel Tower was the creation of Gustave Eiffel, and it was meant to serve as an archway for the 1889 World’s Fair. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world of its time, before being piped by the Empire State Building. The tower sees some 7 million visitors each year and up to 30,000 a day in the peak summer season.
