Hi, I'm Claire. I'm going to tell you about the Eiffel Tower. 300 workers made the Eiffel Tower in 2 years. In high winds the tower can sway up to 12cm. The workers used 2.5 million rivets and 15,000 iron pieces (not including the rivets). They used 40 tons of paint to paint the tower. There are 1652 steps to the top of the tower.

What I'm going to tell you next is what I think is cool. 2 men parachuted off the tower. Also someone rode a bicycle down one of the tower's four legs.

Next I will tell you some FUN FACTS. Did you know that cleaners use 25,000 garbage bags and 4 tons of wipes. They also use 2 tons of paper to make tickets.
