Eiffel Tower has nick name the iron lady, French call it La dame de fer. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and one of the most recognizable structure in the world. The Eiffel Tower stands 324 meters tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. In order to enhance the impression of height, three separate colors of paint are used on the tower, with the darkest on the bottom and the lightest at the top. On occasion the color of the paint is changed, the tower is currently painted a shade bronze. On the first floor there are interactive consoles hosting a poll for the color to use for a future session painting.
