More than a century after its construction, the grand old lady is still as proud and fascinating as ever.\n\nYet the Eiffel Tower was mocked and derided when it was originally built for the Universal Exhibition of 1889. Charles Garnier, the architect of the Opera, writers such as Maupassant and Zola and most of the artists of the day all joined in the outcry. They signed a petition against what they called \u201cthe tragic lamp-post\u201d, \u201cthe hollow candlestick\u201d.\n<br><br>\nConstruction began in January 1887 and inauguration took place on 31 March 1889, when the engineer Gustave Eiffel climbed the 1710 steps to the top. The Eiffel Tower brought \u201cthe world\u2019s most beautiful city\u201d into the modern era. Standing 324 metres high, antenna included, it still dominates Paris and attacts more paying visitors than any other monument in the world.<br><br>\n\nIt gets a beauty treatment every seven years, when it\u2019s cleaned from top to toe and re-painted in \u201cEiffel Tower brown\u201d. In 2003, it took on added glamour, shimmering between nightfall and 2 am for the first 10 minutes of each hour.<br><br>\n\nDiscover the Eiffel while staying at Secret de Paris \u2013 H\u00f4tel &amp;
