What the new Eiffel Tower will look like

The French have decided to give the Eiffel Tower a beret for its 120th birthday next year. Well, not exactly, but this famous tourist attraction is having some work done.

The Societe d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel announced yesterday that Serero Architects of Paris has won a competition to redesign the Tower’s top-most viewing platform, expanding it to more than double its current capacity.

Luckily, this is only a temporary addition, or at least according to the New York Times. I don’t know about you guys, but this seems a little…unnecessary? They already attract 6.9 million visitors a year!

Plus, from afar, it kind of looks like a UFO has landed on the top of the tower, ready to take over the world. But that’s just me…

Make sure you book it to Paris soon if you want to see the Eiffel Tower in all its current glory!
