To introduce this exhibition, I could have told you about its 312 meters height, about the 300 millions visitors that have climbed it (until 2017) or about its worldwide fame.Instead, I share with you a poem by Maurice Carème, and leave you to observe the Eiffel Tower from many non-classic points of view, hoping that this visit makes you dream.

Yes, I am a giraffe,

told me the Eiffel tower

and if my head is in the sky,

it´s only to better feed from the clouds

because they make me eternal.

but I have four well planted feet

on a curved shore of the Seine,

I do not get bored in Paris:

the women, like moths,

the men, like ants,

slide between my legs

and the craziest ones, the nimblest,

climb and descent along

my neck like hornets,

by night, I lick the stars,

and if one can see me from the distance,

it´s because very often I swallow one

without worrying too much about it.
