Originally 312 meters high, the Eiffel Tower remained the highest monument in the world for forty years. It only took five months to build the foundations and twenty-one to finish assembling the metal pieces of the Tower. Considering the rudimentary means available at that period, this could be considered record speed. The assembly of the Tower was a marvel of precision, as all chroniclers of the period agreed. The construction work began in January 1887 and was finished on March 31, 1889. On the narrow platform at the top, Eiffel received his decoration from the Legion of Honour.
After a spectacular ascent in glass-walled elevators, you are there. 276 meters high, only the antennas overhang you and Paris is at your feet. The noises of the boulevards disappear, the wind seizes you, and your heart races. Witness to thousands of promises of eternal love, the Tower makes your emotions sparkle.

It was at the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the date that marked the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, that a great competition was launched in the Journal Officiel.
The wager was to "study the possibility of erecting an iron tower on the Champ-de-Mars with a square base, 125 meters across and 300 meters tall". Selected from among 107 projects, it was that of Gustave Eiffel, an entrepreneur, Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier, both engineers, and Stephen Sauvestre, an architect, that was accepted.
It was to be designed like a large pylon with four columns of lattice work girders, separated at the base and coming together at the top and joined to each other by more metal girders at regular intervals.
The tower project was a bold extension of this principle up to a height of 300 meters - equivalent to the symbolic figure of 1000 feet. It only took five months to build the foundations and twenty-one to finish assembling the metal pieces of the Tower.
