A section of the spiral staircase

Originally, there was a spiral staircase between the second floor and the top level. Gustave Eiffel used these stairs to get to his top floor office.

Considered obsolete, the staircase was dismantled in 1983.

Twenty segments were sold at a very successful international auction.

The segment dispalyed on the first floor measures 4.3-meters high.

The original hydraulic pump

It supplied water to the machinery of the old elevator, which ran from the second floor to the top.

FerOscope

In the center of a transparent bubble, mounted on one of the Tower's beams, interactive videos, "video glasses" and light shows take you on a discovery of the technical means used to build the monument, as well as the work involved in protecting the iron with paint.

The different colors of the Tower since its construction are visible inside.

If you raise your eyes, you can see wax steeple painters perched on a beam, replicas of the workers who paint the Tower every seven years.

Observatory of Tower Top Movement

An original and unique system that monitors, with a laser beam in real time, the oscillation of the top of the Tower due to the effects of the wind and temperature.

A computer linked to sensors calculates these movements.
