Gustave Eiffel's secret apartment atop the Eiffel Tower
- rotten 12y agoAlmost an "architectural easter egg". I'm sure there must be other prominent examples of such things. Are there?
- joezydeco 12y agoWalt Disney had a small apartment above the "fire station" just off Main Street in Disneyland. He worked from there while Disneyland was under construction: http://www.justdisney.com/Features/Apartment.html http://www.justdisney.com/Features/Apartment.html Walt would put a candle in the window to let workers know he was on-site. A light was left in the window after his death: http://www.starcentralmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/disneyland-walts-apartment.jpg http://www.starcentralmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/0...
- adfm 12y agoThere's also a champagne bar at the very top of the tower, but it's really not much of anything. It was closed when we were there, but I hear we didn't miss anything special. And that's not really the point when you're up there. It's the views that are amazing! The little apartment was a real treat to see. Worth the ticket.
