Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2021 - 202207:00 a.m., January 27, 2022

If in the first years of development of the project, the construction of the Eiffel Tower divided the French, it is today a national symbol.

In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach recounts Gustave Eiffel's pharaonic construction site. 

The work on the Eiffel Tower is progressing at lightning speed but it requires a colossal organization.

Gustave Eiffel estimates the total weight of iron required at 7,000 tons, to which must be added two thousand tons of bolts.

In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of history", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach completes her story on the construction of the Eiffel Tower.
