It had to happen, didn't it? The Monkey in front of the Paris' most recognizable landmark, the Eiffel Tower. The iron tower is also the world's most popular paid tourist attraction, visited by some 6 million people every year! Constructed from 1887 to 1889, at 300.5 meters it was the world's tallest structure until 1930, when New York City's Chrysler Building edged it out. This is an early Monkey shot, from 1995.

The Monkey rests a moment by the River Seine, with the Cathedral of Notre Dame behind him. Construction of the cathedral began in 1163 and by 1330 the works were finished. Since 1991 restoration has been ongoing. This is a shot from the Monkey's 1996 visit.
