France: Eiffel Tower

Today I got four postcards: one from France, one from Germany, one from the USA and one from Australia.

The card from France shows the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World's Fair held in Paris and was designed and built by Gustav Eiffel. It is 324 metres tall. It has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. Today it is the most visited paid monument in the world.
