TOWERING ABOVE THE REST
Our pages cannot help but to portray her as a heroine.
An architectural athlete, symbolizing the strength and outreach of an entire city, if not a country. Originally constructed for the 1889 World's Fair, the Eiffel 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.
THE STRENGTH OF A SYMBOL
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.
