Eiffel Tower Opens (March 31, 1889)

The main structural work was completed at the end of March 1889 and, on 31 March, Eiffel celebrated by leading a group of government officials, accompanied by representatives of the press, to the top of the tower. Because the lifts were not yet in operation, the ascent was made by foot, and took over an hour, with Eiffel stopping frequently to explain various features. Most of the party chose to stop at the lower levels, but a few, including the structural engineer, Émile Nouguier, the head of construction, Jean Compagnon, the President of the City Council, and reporters from Le Figaro and Le Monde Illustré, completed the ascent. At 2:35 pm, Eiffel hoisted a large Tricolour to the accompaniment of a 25-gun salute fired at the first level.

Interesting: the Yod pointing at Uranus, is formed by inconjuncts of Mercury, Venus and the Midheaven. Notice how the Sun and Moon are conjunct and widely in opposition to Uranus. These days the Tower is lit at night with the colours of the French flag.

I’ve been there and seen it during the day and during the night in the late 1980’s. It’s impressive.

It is also worth the trip, should you be so inclined.
