2A Secret Apartment Sits at the Top of the Tower

Gustave Eiffel, the engineer and mastermind behind the tower, included a hidden apartment near the top. Perched above Paris, this private retreat was intended for Eiffel to entertain notable guests and conduct scientific experiments. Eiffel used this space to host renowned scientists like Thomas Edison. Today, the apartment is preserved as a small museum, complete with wax figures of Eiffel and Edison, offering visitors a glimpse into the history of this unusual hideaway.
