You may like it, you may not like it, but the fact that the Eiffel Tower is a recognizable symbol of Paris is unconditional.
While it was being built, many Parisians grumbled against this construction. At one time, 300 cultural figures wrote a famous protest against the mutilation of Paris by this building. The signatories included Alexandre Dumas son, Charles Gounod, Lecomte de Lisle, the architect of the Paris Opera Charles Garnier, Guy de Maupassant and others.
With Guy de Maupassant, the situation is generally very curious. He dined daily at the tower's restaurant. When he was asked, why is it so that, despite his dislike for this building, he regularly visits it? The writer replied that this is the only place in Paris where you can't see it : )
