France is famous for its The Eiffel Tower.
This is probably the most famous monument in France, but at the beginning it was a not very well accepted. French citizens did not like it and thought it was a waste of money. This iron tower was built on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine in Paris, and replaced the Washington Monument. It was called the Tower Eiffel in honour of its designer,the engineer Gustave Eiffel.
