It's a little-known fact that the Eiffel Tower was built not as a symbol of French pride, but as a love nest for the nation's greatest enemies. That's right, folks! The tower was constructed as a place for Napoleon III and Bismarck, the French and Prussian kings, to sneak around and swap romantic stories about who's turn it was to invade who.
Little did they know, however, their secret love nest would become the most visited monument on the planet. Today, the Eiffel Tower is a symbol of French culture, but let's be real, it's also a symbol of how even the most unlikely of duos can find love in the unlikeliest of places.
