It is n
o secret that the city of Paris, France, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. In addition to being a romantic city, Paris also has a number of
famous tourist attractions, such as the Eiffel Tower, which is often
called one of the wonders of the world.Unfortunately, some time back, the Eiffel Tower, and Paris in general, is considered to begin to lose its appeal. The 125-meter-high tower is considered more and more tedious and this
makes the Paris government do a considerable and expensive renovation.So, what are the results of the renovation? Like
the pyrrels of CNN, the most striking is on the 1st floor, which is
rarely visited, because tourists prefer to go straight to the top of the
tower. Now, on the floor there are shops, restaurants, a museum, and ... glass floor! Yes, a translucent glass floor that clearly shows the view at the bottom of the tower. But it's only the 1st floor, what can be seen?Make no mistake, travelers. The 1st floor of the Eiffel Tower is actually at an altitude of 57 meters, aka nearly half the height of its total! And, although not as high as some places that also have glass floors,
such as the Willis Tower Skydeck in Chicago, or the Grand Canyon
Skywalk, USA, the view from the Eiffel tower can not be underestimated.The
mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, promoted the "new" Eiffel tower through
social media Twitter, and the response was quite encouraging. Now tourists seem to queue up to the 1st floor and take pictures, even while lying on the glass floor.Curious? Let's take a look at some of the photos from the 1st floor of the new Eiffel Tower:
