法國新聞社:巴黎埃菲爾鐵塔一層改造工程告一段落,今天,一層臺塔完工剪彩將如期舉行.改裝后的一層地板和圍欄全部是玻璃結構,設計師在離地面57米高的一層安裝巨大的觀看托架,在支柱間的內側通道上安裝的玻璃地板完全給參觀者一種在空中行走的感覺.

AFP: A much-anticipated facelift of the Eiffel Tower is scheduled to be unveiled Monday with a new glass floor to dizzy the millions of tourists who flock to Paris's best-known landmark every year.

Its owners hope the formerly dowdy and draughty first floor will become as big an attraction as the viewing platform on top of the 325-metretower -- the most visited paying monument in the world.

Visitors will be able to look down through a solid glass floor to the 57 square metres below, with transparent and eco-friendly pavilions built around the tower's enormous central void.
