Paris is the capital and largest city in France, situated on the river Seine, in northern France.
The city of Paris, within its administrative limits largely unchanged since 1860, has an estimated
population of 2,00,000. The Paris's urban district has a population of about 11,000,000, and is
one of the metropolitan areas with many inhabitants in Europe. Paris is today one of the world's
leading business and cultural centres, and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media,
fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.

there are still many places left, which we want to see. Each time I visited the town, it shows up
a different scene.

The Eiffel Tower is a 'puddle iron lattice' tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889,
it has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.
The tower is the second tallest building in France after the viaduct bridge in Millau, and the most-visited
paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. The tower was built as the
entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair. The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both
Paris and FranceThe tower stands 324 metres tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building.

non-metal components, is approximately 10,000 tonnes. Source:Wikipedia
