The 133 Year Old Landmark Is Slated To Be Repaired As France Is Slated To Host The 2024 Olympics

The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, is slated to be repaired, after rust and broken steel sections were spotted dotting the iconic Parisian landmark.

Built between 1886 and 1888 for the 1889 World's Fair, the 133 year old tower and café has been repaired 19 times since being erected.

This 20^th time will add modern rust proofing to the Eiffel Tower, and repairs will be carried out on the broken sections.

The French capital will be hosting the 2024 Olympic Games, and Emmanuel Macron wants the it to be: “Safe for locals, athletes, and tourists alike”.

The Eiffel Tower was meant to be demolished in 1909, but the French government prevented this due to it hosting valuable telegraph wires and radio antennas.

When the Nazis occupied Paris in WW2, Adolf Hitler contemplated taking it down but chose to keep it.

French and Parisian historical societies have approved of efforts to repair the Eiffel Tower by stating: “The Eiffel Tower is a symbol of Paris, France, and it's people.

It is what many people first think of when they're told to think of something French or in Paris.

So it is key that we preserve this iconic landmark for future generations, in France and all over the world”.
