And that’s good, the beautiful days are finally coming back! Take advantage of the return of the sun to visit the Eiffel Tower .   The history of the Eiffel Tower Did you know that the Eiffel Tower was initially only an ephemeral monument, intended to be dismantled a few years after its construction? This is indeed what was planned when drawing up his plans, on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of 1889 . To mark the centenary of the French Revolution, the Official Journal is organizing a major competition to build a huge tower on the Champ-de-Mars, and it is the engineer Gustave Eiffel who wins, with his Eiffel Tower project. The construction of the Iron Lady The construction of the Eiffel Tower began on January 26, 1889, and it was only 2 years, 2 months and 5 days later that the site ended, making this work a real technical feat. The building then takes the form of an immense tower, composed of 4 beams separated at the base, then meeting at the top. High of more than 300 meters , this new construction connects each of its pylons by metal beams, and fortifies the whole by different floors. And to make the monument appreciable to tourists, large glazed rooms and a bubble-shaped top are installed there. Everything will finally be simplified, to obtain the tower that we know today. In total, more than 18,000 parts and 2,500,000 rivets were needed, all being manufactured in a factory in Levallois-Perret. More than 300 workers will be requisitioned to build this emblematic tower . The Eiffel Tower at the heart of the debates Even before the completion of the construction site, the Iron Lady is not unanimous, and many criticize it for being unsightly. The tower was also destined to be dismantled, 20 years after the Universal Exhibition. But its immediate success calls into question the projects, because more than 2 million visits are recorded just over the duration of the Universal Exhibition. The dismantling is then quickly forgotten, and since then, the Eiffel Tower has never ceased to seduce, becoming the emblematic historical monument of Paris and France.   Visiting the Eiffel Tower: information Today, the Eiffel Tower is the most visited paid monument in France and in the world , with more than 6 million visitors each year.

Take advantage of your days off to sign up for one of the events for kids or the whole family. You can make your own cheese at the Latteria, a huge urban dairy in the heart of the 9th arrondissement of Paris. And to discover different activities, go to the creative and DIY workshop Les Inventeurs, in the 18th arrondissement. There, you will have the opportunity to participate in workshops or training courses with craftsmen who will explain the basics of their trade, and guide you in your first steps. On the program, activities for children and/or adults: arc welding, carpentry workshop, Molkky workshop, propeller boat making, mosaics… You can also find other introductory workshops and discovery sessions on various themes by visiting the ressourceries or MJCs in the different districts of Paris.   Get some fresh air in the green spaces of Paris After visiting the capital’s exhibitions and participating in a creative workshop, it’s nice to be able to walk in the fresh air and stretch your legs. It’s a good thing, because the Parisian parks come alive in spring, and offer an ideal setting for a walk. Alone or in charming company, take the time to discover the awakening of nature in the Jardin des Plantes, the Jardin des Tuileries, or the Jardin du Luxembourg. Of course, the addresses do not stop there, and other sites, less known but just as charming, are favourable to the stroll: the garden of the Rodin museum, the Bagatelle garden… Your walks in these Parisian green spaces are an opportunity to discover the biodiversity of the place, as well as some works of art, statues and fountains, scattered along the paths of the parks and gardens.

Don’t forget to book an exclusive visit to the gardens of the castles of Rambouillet, Maisons or Champs-sur-Marne.

Its immense forest is the occasion for beautiful walks, and many activities are proposed throughout the spring school vacations (storytelling, dog sledding, guided tour of the gardens of the castle of Fontainebleau…).   Enjoying the thrill of Easter in Paris One could imagine that the visit of Paris lacks spice, and that the monuments and typical districts impose a rather quiet stay. However, the amateurs of more or less strong sensations will be delighted to learn that the capital also proposes more astonishing activities during the school vacations. If you enjoyed climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower, you’ll probably love to climb aboard the Ballon de Paris Generali.
