I'm still grateful to them whem I see it everyday
Do the lovers of the Eiffel tower know that it was meant to be dismantled after the Universal exposition of 1889? It was saved by the French military who decided to keep it standing in the heart of Paris because it was the highest point for the new thing called radio. I'm still grateful to them whem I see it everyday, standing and shining from the windows of my apartment.

A metaphor for Life
This towering dream of Iron has turned into a landmark of love for many romantic couples! Standing under and looking up at the Tower on a busy day it hums with activity and turns into a metaphor for Life with it's ups and downs and moments of calm inbetween. Nothing better than floating by the nightlit tower on the Seine, sipping wine with your loved one by your side.

Value belongs in the heart
A brief but passionate affair... a dreamlike phonecall in the early hours from Singapore: "I'll be waiting for you at the Eiffel Tower". This is not about a steel structure but about a distillation of dreams - the essence of a city in a building - the very spirit of romance! No one can deny that as an engineering feat it's a marvel, the view superb. Who cares about queues and hawkers? Who really can care when it's so much more than that? The Eiffel Tower's value is intangible. Money simply doesn't come into it. Its value belongs in the heart. Written into novels, captured in masterpieces, grounded in history, etched uniquely into minds across the world. The magic emotions evoked by the Eiffel Tower mean that nothing, ever, could replace this amazing Lovemark.
