Eiffel Tower Stats

A few days ago we went to the Eiffel Tower. Max amount of tourists you could ever see were there. Here's a few cool facts:

-The oldest female elephant (85 years old) was taken up to the first floor
-The building uses 60 tons of paint every 7 years.
-The whole thing weighs 10,100 tons
-The Eiffel Tower was put together using rivets. The builders used 2,500,000 rivets. One third of them were hammered in on the spot, the rest in the forge.
-The citizens HATED the Eiffel Tower at first and wanted to tear it down. Little did they know that in the future it would become the symbol of France and become known worldwide!
-The third floor has a really cool view!

Ciao!
