Pictures From Mr. Eiffel's Most Famous Work

Gustave Eiffel also built the frame for the Statue of Liberty, but is far overshadowed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi's creation of the outside.

From the top of the Eiffel Tower. 

The taller black building is the

Montparnasse Tower, also known

as "The Shame of Paris."

We are not quite tall enough to reach

the 281 meter height, meaning our

heads are about 920 feet above the

ground up on the summit. 

Here we are at the bottom, but you

figured it out because my readers

are smart people!

Just a blogger and a landmark.

Saint Sulpice church, with Les Invalides

photobombing at top right.

Am I going to take credit for

this spectacular shot of

Notre Dame?  Yes, yes I am.

Hotel des National Invalides.

Napoleon is buried right in the

center of the dome (well, at the

very bottom of the building).

Getting a picture of this Arc

 was a real Triomphe!

The Trocadero, with the high rises of

a distant part of Paris well behind it.

Another shot of Les Invalides

as it is also known.

Sacre bleu?  No, more like Sacre Couer!

The Pantheon.

One last pic from the base.

Ah, make it two last

pics from the base.
