The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle and initially met with mixed public opinion; Paris’ broad avenues date largely from Baron Haussmann’s 19th‑century renovations.
Conservation
The Seine riverbanks are UNESCO‑protected—respect signage, avoid littering, and prefer refillable water bottles to reduce single‑use plastic.
