THE EIFFEL TOWER
PARIS (FRANCE)

THE STRENGTH OF A SYMBOL
Our pages cannot help but to portray her as
34 a heroine. An architectural athlete, symbolizing 35
the strength and outreach of an entire city, if not
a country. Originally constructed for the 1889
World's Fair, the Ei el Tower is much more than
a 330-meter tall wrought-iron monument.
For while she towers over the capital's emblematic
events, she is also an eye witness to a nation's
great sporting accomplishments.

Once a world record holder herself, she has been
chosen to oversee new top performances. Like that
of Taïg Khris, a champion vert skater, who in 2010
dropped 40 meters from the first floor of the Eiffel
Tower onto a massive ramp below. Or that of tightrope
walker Nathan Paulin who covered a distance of
670 meters on a slackline between the Tower and
Trocadero. The Eiffel Tower, with its pillars and
trellises, is also the privileged setting for performances
that reach for the stars.
