8 Pictures That Tourists Love Taking With The Eiffel Tower
It's the 125th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower's construction. To celebrate, we've compiled pictures of perhaps the most iconic tourist snapshot in Paris: people "holding" the Eiffel Tower in their hands. It seems that this classic pose is such a must that even celebrities like Beyonce do it.
Beyonce snapped the iconic pic when she visited recently: <img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/533471276bb3f7185612cef9-1200-924/tumblr_n31sfpvubq1rqgjz2o1_1280.jpg" border="0" alt="Beyonce holding the Eiffel Tower" />This is p<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">erhaps the most iconic snapshot: </span><img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/533589fbeab8ea360275da9e-1200-900/holding-the-eiffel-tower.jpg" border="0" alt="Holding the Eiffel Tower" style="line-height: 1.5em;" />And another variation:<img src="http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/53359287ecad04d468810524-683-1024/6774310764_032c1e1db6_b.jpg" border="0" alt="holding the eiffel tower in hand" width="600" style="line-height: 1.5em;" /><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The tower really isn't that high - it's easy to "touch" the top of it:</span><img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/5335931e6da8110e5475da9e-768-1024/4219966342_0dc68704a7_b.jpg" border="0" alt="Tourist touching the Eiffel Tower" style="line-height: 1.5em;" />These two guys are trying to crush the tower: <img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/53358a99eab8ea380275da9e-1200-900/tourists-holding-the-eiffel-tower.jpg" border="0" alt="Tourists holding the eiffel tower" style="line-height: 1.5em;" />While t<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">his little kid is patting it on its side: </span><img src="http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/53358c746bb3f7c33775daa0-683-1024/4940202036_b2de7df6f9_b.jpg" border="0" alt="Kid touching Eiffel Tower" style="line-height: 1.5em;" />
