1. **A speed record** : The Eiffel Tower was completed in a record time of 2 years, 2 months and 5 days. It was an incredible technical feat for the time!
2. **Impressive numbers** : The tower is made up of 18,038 metal parts, assembled with 2,500,000 rivets. It weighs approximately 7,300 tons and requires 60 tons of paint to maintain.
