Use the underground, stops named
"Bir-Hakeim" and "Champ de Mars - Tour Eiffel" are the
closest ones to the tower. Follow the directions on the streets after leaving
the underground.
As we all know, the most famous building in Paris is the Eiffel Tower. You must see the Eiffel before you die! Definitely a fascinating masterpiece, an example of creativity. Besides, it is one of the few buildings that do not give effort to stay in balance with Paris's 18th century atmosphere. Therefore, it took many negative criticism in its time. Most of the Parisians strongly supported the idea that the tower would not take any attention at all. The most important reason of this can be considered as the difference between the architecture of the city and the tower.

However, just the opposite, the Eiffel Tower which was built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889, has been seen as one of the first steps of modern art. When we consider that the tower is recalled with the city Paris most of the time, Gustave Eiffel seems to have showed us an example of success.
