It is probably the most famous tower in the world, and yet it holds plenty of secrets. At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, during a one-hour open-air visit, you walk the Champ-de-Mars and, at each stop, you travel back in time. From Gustave Eiffel's workshops to the 1889 World's Fair, then the Roaring Twenties and the Occupation (when the symbol of Paris also became a symbol of resistance), history takes its place again where it was written. Open from age 8.
