Eiffel Tower

PRE-CUT KIT - FOLD, GLUE! This model comes unassembled, flat-packed in a large envelope.

What's inside? 4 sturdy A4 size paper sheets with parts pre-cut and pre-creased. You will need to remove parts from the sheets, fold and glue them in order to assemble the model according to the set-up instructions which come with the kit.

Things which are not included, but you'll need in order to assemble the model: time & patience, a hard surface to work on, white glue (PVA). Some other things might be helpful: a pointed stylus, tweezers, scissors, a hobby knife, a ruler, a cutting mat. See what tools we recommend.

This model will require more than one sitting to build it. We advise to pause between different stages as you work, especially when you come to gluing. The white glue softens the paper and it may lead to misshapen parts if you do not allow them to dry well before proceeding further with assembling. Click here to watch our paper model building tips.

The Eiffel Tower, an enduring symbol of Paris and one of the most recognizable structures in the world, is a wrought iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. Designed by Gustave Eiffel and his company for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, the tower was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but has since become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most visited paid monuments in the world.

Standing at a towering height of 324 meters (1,063 feet), the Eiffel Tower was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York City in 1930. The tower consists of three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. The top level's upper platform is 276 meters (906 feet) above the ground – the highest observation deck accessible to the public in the European Union.

Constructed from over 18,000 iron parts and 2.5 million rivets, the Eiffel Tower is a marvel of engineering. Gustave Eiffel used his expertise in bridge building to design the tower, employing novel techniques to manage the wind forces and ensuring the structural stability that has allowed it to withstand the test of time.

Initially intended to last for only 20 years, the Eiffel Tower was saved from demolition by its usefulness for communication purposes. Over the years, it has been repurposed for radio transmission and, more recently, for broadcasting. The tower undergoes frequent painting to protect it from rust, requiring 60 tons of paint every seven years.

Today, the Eiffel Tower is not only a major tourist attraction but also a symbol of French ingenuity and a beacon of Parisian aesthetics. It captivates millions of visitors from around the world each year, drawn by its iconic status and the stunning panoramic views of Paris it offers.
