<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuDragon, post: 419292, member: 6974&quot;]The Exposition Universelle of 1889 was a world’s fair held in Paris, France, from 6 May to 31 October 1889. It was held during the year of the 100th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, an event considered as the beginning of the French Revolution.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main symbol of the Fair was the especially built Eiffel Tower which served as the entrance arch to the Fair, and was the tallest tower in the world. It was a sensation from the moment it opened, with as many as 12,000 visitors a day, and over 30,000 making the 1700 step climbs to the top since the lifts had not been completed when the Exposition opened.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1889 fair was held on the Champs de Mars in Paris, which had ben the site of the earlier Paris Universal Exhibition in 1867, and would also be the site of the 1900 Exposition.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]146384[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
