The historic monument received a new digital radio antenna this week that increased the overall height.
“This new antenna will improve the quality of digital radio coverage for Paris and the Île-de-France region,” an officialreads. “The device joins the dozens of other antennas that allow TDF to broadcast nearly 30 DTT channels and 32 radio stations to 12 million people in Île-de-France within a radius of nearly 50 miles from the Eiffel Tower.”
Of course, this is not the first time the tower has contributed to major innovations in radio and television. It’s also not the first time it’s grown. First erected in 1889, the Eiffel Tower, or “300m Tower” as it was known, was originally topped by a large flag pole and measured 1,024 feet. It was the world’s tallest man-made structure for some 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City took the title in 1930.
The good news is that you can easily make a trip across the pond to see the taller Eiffel Tower in person., allowing both vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers to visit. The country has also lifted mask rules and suspended its vaccination pass. Sounds like springtime in Paris is In the cards.
