One of the most famous landmarks in the world, the Eiffel Tower, has a 1,000 sq. foot apartment at the tippy-top of the steeple. Indeed, this was the home of its famed engineer, Gustave Eiffel, for many years. Legend has it that many Parisians offered Eiffel a king’s ransom to stay a single night in the flat with a birds-eye view of the city, but he continuously denied offers, opting to maintain the residence as private as possible.
