Marvelous picture, thanks! I'm a sucker for all the Paris World Fair photos of yesteryear.

Seeing the Eiffel Tower (and climbing to the top if possible) is a unique experience which I really encourage anyone to do at least once. As a Parisian by birth I have never tired of the old iron lady and love to take foreign friends round to see her!

So if any of you forum members ever visit Paris, get in touch with me. I'll be glad to go sightseeing with you!
