Exclusive birds eye view of Eiffel Tower - Gift Shops: prior to the World Retail Congress in Paris!"

Just landed from a red-eye flight out of the USA, and after a bit of a power nap, I made a beeline for the iconic Eiffel Tower. 🗼 I wanted to showcase the gift shops and the variety of retail merchandise available in the tower. I think it's pretty funny that I had no idea there were multiple gift shops in the tower. lol

With over 7 million people flocking here yearly, it's no wonder this monument has more gift shop options than my suitcase has room for! 🛍️ From quirky cheese graters (shaped like the tower) to vintage replica newspapers from its opening day (in 1889), they've got it all.

Did you know when it was built, the Eiffel Tower was the tallest man-made structure in the world? It held that title for a whopping 40 years, reaching over 300 meters into the sky. It’s not just tall—it was record setting tall for it's time. 🌍

And the views? Breathtaking doesn't cut it. Watching the sunset steps from one of the shops was a spectacle of its own—Paris truly earns its nickname, "The City of Light". 🌆 I mean, they had to have coined it after seeing the city glow from the tower, right?

👀 Stay tuned as I explore more of Paris! Next up, I'll be diving into the world of tech at the Coresight Research - AI Summit, followed by the World Retail Congress. 🤖🛍️
