A replica of the popular Eiffel tower in Paris, France. It's located on the roof of a solariumm enterprise in Terrebonne since 2016.
Formely the enterprise was named Solarium de Paris, so the Eiffel tower meant something. Since it's change the Eiffel tower was left there.
The height of the tower is about 3 meters.
Gustave Eiffel designed and built the real Eiffel Tower for the Universal Exposition of 1889, winning from 107 competing projects. Originally, the Eiffel Tower was to be demolished after the Exposition, but Eiffel convinced the city planners that the Tower would be not only artistic but scientific too. Eiffel managed to get a meterorological station, a radio transmitter and a television antenna installed onto the Tower. Eventually the city relented and the Eiffel Tower has stayed to become one of the most visited and recognized icons in the world.
