Gustave Eiffel built the tower with engineers Maurice Koechlin and \u00c9mile Nouguier.<\/p>\n

Its design is the work of architect Stephen Sauvestre. In 1925, Victor Lustig became “the man who sold the Eiffel Tower”. The scrap dealer Andr\u00e9 Poisson bought the tower by weight before discovering the scam. The Eiffel Tower is 330 m high, following the addition of an antenna in 2022. The gold lighting dates back to 1985, and the sparkle and lighthouse to 2000. The tower is illuminated in the colors of the news at every event of global importance. As you’ll discover on the Diner Cruise, the Eiffel Tower illuminates Paris with its spectacular lights. An unforgettable spectacle to immortalize during your cruise on the Seine.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1684511915984{background-color: #0e072d !important;}” el_class=”croisiere-section-4-parcours”][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”row-title-white croisiere-section-4-parcours-title”]<\/p>\n
