40 tons of paint.
1652 steps to the top.
It was almost torn down in 1909,
but was saved because of its antenna -
used for telegraphy at that time.
Beginning in 1910
it became part of the
International Time Service.
French radio (since 1918),
and French television
(since 1957) have also made
use of its stature.
During its lifetime,
the Eiffel Tower has also witnessed
a few strange scenes,
including being scaled
by a mountaineer in 1954,
and parachuted off of in 1984
by two Englishmen.
In 1923 a journalist rode a bicycle down
from the first level.
Some accounts say he rode down the stairs,
other accounts suggest the exterior
of one of the tower's four legs
which slope outward.
However, if its birth was difficult,
it is now completely accepted
and must be listed
as one of the symbols of Paris itself.
Notes
The tower has three platforms.
A restaurant (extremely expensive;
reservations absolutely necessary),
