Conclusion

• I find this building really fascinating and how the people who helped built it, only took 2 years. I mean it took Noah 120 years to build his ark. Gustave was a really talented man and I give him credit for designing the Eiffel Tower. It is such an amazing design. One day I hope to travel France. Visit Paris, and say that I've been to the Eiffel Tower and have experienced the view. I also hope to say one day that I was one of those trillions tourist that have been on the Eiffel Tower. There is so much more history that I would love to learn about. Especially the place that it is at. Another reason for me to visit Paris is to go shopping. Also, to experience the culture and speak what Mrs. Irwin taught me.
