Thanks to its height and its unique silhouette worldwide in the Parisian landscape, the Eiffel Tower quickly became one of the most popular attractions in Paris. The fate of the Tower is closely linked to that of the city of Paris, which is the capital of France and the owner of the Eiffel Tower.
Since its creation, the Tower has been the center of attention and the scene of many events in Parisian and French life: the grandiose fireworks show on July 14 (French national holiday), events of national importance, great sporting feats, etc.
Visible from all points of Paris and its surroundings, the Eiffel Tower is photographed, drawn, filmed and modeled in all circumstances. It is the monument that all visitors to Paris photograph. It has been placed naturally as a symbol of France in the collective imagination: in the cinema, in the graphic arts, but also in literature and poetry.
