ng from a great height. During its lifetime, the Eiffel Tower has also witnessed a few strange scenes, including being scaled by a mountaineer in 1954, and parachuted off of in 1984 by two Englishmen. In 1923, a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level. Some accounts say he rode down the stairs, other accounts suggest the exterior of one of the tower's four legs, which slope outward. However, if its birth was difficult, it is now completely accepted and must be listed as one of the symbols of Paris itself. So, if you ever have a chance to climb 1652 steps to get to the top of Eiffel Tower, do it and you won’t regret it? The view is amazing.
