| Hi Paris |
Discover the beauty of France.
Paris, city and capital of France, situated in the north-central part of the country. People were living on the site of the present-day city, located along the Seine River some 233 miles (375 km) upstream from the river's mouth on the English Channel (La Manche), by about 7600 bce.
Paris is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. Its 19th-century cityscape is crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine. Beyond such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower and the 12th-century, Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, the city is known for its cafe culture and designer boutiques along the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit Worldwide Cost of Living Survey in 2018, Paris was the second most expensive city in the world, after Singapore and ahead of Zürich, Hong Kong, Oslo and Geneva. Another source ranked Paris as most expensive, on a par with Singapore and Hong Kong, in 2018.

| Hello Paris, hello famous Eiffel Tower. I was looking forward to meeting you. |
The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Locally nicknamed "La dame de fer" (French for "Iron Lady"), it was constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair and was initially criticised by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.
The design of the Eiffel Tower is attributed to Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier, two senior engineers working for the Compagnie des Établissements Eiffel. It was envisioned after discussion about a suitable centrepiece for the proposed 1889 Exposition Universelle, a world's fair to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution.

Every summer for the past 16 years, sections of the commuter route have closed down and converted into a temporary riverside park, part of the Paris Plages initiative, which takes vehicles off the roads and transforms the river banks into sandy beaches dotted with deck chairs and umbrellas for city dwellers who can’t escape the humid summer weather

She is more famous than I am,” Eiffel famously once said when speaking of his greatest engineering project. But perhaps he should have mentioned his best purchase was more famous than he was. Because the Eiffel Tower wasn't designed by Gustave Eiffel but by senior engineers working for Eiffel's company.
Although many consider that the person who projected the monument was Gustave Eiffel, in reality, the things are not like that. Two men named Emile Nouguier and Maurice Koechlin designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Although Eiffel was an engineer himself (he himself designed the Gare/ Station at Verdun among other monuments around France), he initially showed little to no interest in the project. He was intrigued enough to allow his engineers to continue designing the project and enlisted the help of senior engineer Stephen Sauvestre to aid them in their project.
Émile Nouguier was a French civil engineer and architect. He is famous for co-designing the Eiffel Tower, built 1887–1889 for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris.
Maurice Koechlin was a Franco-Swiss structural engineer from the Koechlin family.
Though named after a project of Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower – symbol of Paris – has its structural concept and form from the responsible chief engineer Maurice Koechlin. Koechlin was an engineer of outstanding ingenuity and well versed in the structural techniques of his time. He possessed therefore the best qualifications for evolving such technically innovative conceptions for which Eiffel and his firm were renowned.
Alexandre Gustave Eiffel was a French civil engineer. A graduate of École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, he made his name with various bridges for the French railway network, most famously the Garabit viaduct. He is best known for the world-famous Eiffel Tower, built for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris, and his contribution to building the Statue of Liberty in New York. After his retirement from engineering, Eiffel focused on research into meteorology and aerodynamics, making significant contributions in both fields.
Charles Léon Stephen Sauvestre (26 December 1847 - 18 June 1919) was a French architect. He is notable for being one of the architects contributing to the design of the world-famous Eiffel Tower, built for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris.

Since during our trip to France, the COVID-19 pandemic began in the world, we did not manage to visit all the sights. So I say Paris I'll be back.
