When Gustave Eiffel’s company built Paris’ most recognizable monument for the 1889 World’s Fair, many regarded the massive iron structure with skepticism. Today, the Eiffel Tower, which continues to serve an important role in television and radio broadcasts, is considered an architectural wonder and attracts more visitors than any other paid tourist attraction worldwide. More than 7 million people visit this iconic tower every year. Since the tower’s 1889 opening, 250 million people worldwide have enjoyed all the Eiffel Tower offers. And it has a lot to offer. The tower’s three platforms are home to two restaurants, several buffets, a banquet hall, a champagne bar, and many unique gift shops. Educational tours of the tower are available for children and tourist groups. But one spot has fascinated many—the “secret” apartment.

it is not a Secret if everybody know about it 😆
Let's be real, the apartment was the best place in Paris to take women. You would never get no for an answer.
i wonder if the tower could be torn down to produce low background steel…
I suggest you look up how to pronounce "buffets". It's bu-fé.
I spent spring 1989 in Paris 🇫🇷 and Michael Chang won his only Grand Slam 🎾 tournament at Roland Garros, there was 100s of American tourists there and the sun shine bright 🔆
You didn't even have good pictures of the apartment. What a scam. You spent 2 mins on it, the other 14 mins, blah blah blah.
"has Secret a Apartment on Top"? How about "has a Secret Apartment on Top"?
Fun fact: I started my period for the first time after climbing up the Eiffel Tower. Yes, climbing, because my grandma was too cheap to pay for the elevators.
Buff-etts? Really?
Closely tied to the 1893 Ferris Wheel in Chicago.
VERY good doc on the Eiffel Tower! I learned so much!
Are there videos of the Paris Metro (Subway) and the sewers?
Five BILLION lights? I'm definitely going to need a source on that one. I couldn't imagine maintaining five billion of anything physical. Not to mention the electricity.
Made it to the 7 minute mark. Could not take the awful, LOUD music anymore.

6:04 a foundation of only a few metres? golly… .
15:17 is actually Las Vegas.
You deserve good head for your videos! i'd love to be the one who gives it to you!
Guys the syntax in your title is broken
Seems a pity to make a 16 minute long video and not only not visit the subject and film it yourself, since you’re using apparently solely other people’s visual work, but even then not even include any video of the inside of the apartment.
Not a single bus is labeled Eiffel Tower. They all say Champ de Mars.
Just to let you know the excess steel guarders which weren't used in the erection of the tower end up has a bridge in Portugal, apparently the mayor was a friend of Mr. Eiffel?
🤙
Truth. https://youtu.be/EtCEscJiB-U
I.was there and seen the apartment. Its got to be the coolest place in the world to live
Why would you show B roll of the Las Vegas Eiffel Tower? This is what I hate with so many poorly executed Youtube videos. Do you not do the research when putting these videos together?
casually puts a footage from Las Vegas @ 15:15 lol
If you don't care to watch the video I'll give you the answer.
It wad built so the ruler of France could have a place to take his ho's away from his wife.
I have one of these mova globes, it stopt rotating 🙁
It really looked nice when it worked
But now it's not that nice anymore
You're actually not allowed to show the eiffel tower at night with the lights on. Heavy copyright beef
I like the video of the "Eiffel Tower" in Las Vegas (15:14) while talking about visiting by bus! Mistake or great sense of humor?
My first trip to Paris, as we drove into the city from the airport, the first thing I saw was the Eiffel Tower. What a feeling! 😁
5 BILLION lights. Come on. How could you even say that and not laugh into the mic? Even if they were 1 watt each that would be 5 gigawatts of power or enough to power 3.75 MILLION homes! They would still be wiring them to this day! Lets say the wiring, the bulbs and the sockets average out to one ounce per bulb. That would weigh 312 MILLION pounds! Come on man. A quick googling says their are 20,000 bulbs on the thing.
Great video
0:45 "buff-ette"?! LMAO!🤣
Extremely weak focus on the title material
The fact that this apartment never had a bedroom shows that it isn't a rich man's vanity. Apparently, it was meant as a break area for scientists. Of course, back then, scientists were gentlemen, like Eiffel, himself, so entertaining was a thing. The idea of renting the space to a hedge fund manager would have have offended him to no end. Men, like Eiffel, may be have been very wealthy, but they would join with the penniless socialists in looking down on people that devote their lives to enriching themselves by manipulating markets.
No enegeneer today could reproduce this tower.
The French laugh at Tourists wanting to see Eiffel Tower, I have to say I agree
