The Eiffel Tower was originally built as a temporary structure to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution. Thankfully, the tower was never torn down and since, the Eiffel Tower has become an enduring symbol of the city of Paris.

It is certainly the most unusual of the French West Indies islands.
