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."

"France is the most visited country in the world. It has everything that you could ever want to see on your holidays: a great city like Paris, good beaches, more monuments than any other country, lovely nature, incredible mountain scenery; need I go on? France is also a very pleasant place to stay. It has good food, great wines and people enjoy their lives. And the best thing is, maybe apart from Paris, living in France does not have to be expensive. The North of France consists of the flatlands around the town of Lille and the English Channel. This area will remind visitors in many ways of Belgium and the Netherlands. The Grand' Place in Lille for example is a lot like the one in Brussels. "

"The Arc de Triomphe dates back to Napoleon, the French Emperor, who conquered most of Europe in early 19th century. An admiror of the Roman Emperors, he followed their example and commissioned Arc de Triomphe in 1806. His victorious troops would march on through Arc de Triomphe cheered by Parisians. It never occured thanks to General Wellington who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. "
