Historically Vôtre brings together 3 characters whose life changed the Eiffel Tower: the ingenious engineer who imagined it and gave it his name: Gustave Eiffel, Franz Reichelt, who launched himself from the Eiffel Tower to test a costume- parachute he had made himself… And an American who also took the plunge: Erika is an objectophile, and married the Eiffel Tower!
Her name is now Erika Eiffel ...
