Eiffel Tower - Paris, France - Philatelic Photographs on Waymarking.com

The Eiffel Tower was built from 1887 and 1889 as the entrance arch for the Exposition Universelle. That World's Fair marked the Centennial celebration of the French Revolution.
The tower was not originally appreciated by many people. In fact, French writer Guy de Mauppasant used to lunch there everyday because that was the only place that you couldn't see it.
It was originally intended to stand for only 20 years...but, of course, its still here...even after Adolph Hitler ordered it to be demolished...and had his order disobeyed.

This red stamp from the former Soviet Union is from 1973 and was worth 4 kopeks. It depicts the Eiffel Tower on the left and a Russian steeple on the right and commemorates Leonid Breshnev's visit to France.
