Hidden within its iron lattice was a room designed for espionage! As nations gathered, Eiffel used the tower to intercept telegrams and secret communications, gaining an edge for French intelligence. With a view spanning the entire city, encrypted messages were decoded, enemy plans uncovered, and alliances tested.

This clandestine operation ran until the close of the exposition, leaving its mark on intelligence history. So next time you see the Eiffel Tower, remember, it’s more than just a marvel of engineering; it’s a silent witness to a world of secrets and spies.
