Eiffel Tower Embracing Antics 2018

A Year of Unconventional Love

In the summer of 2018, the Eiffel Tower, that most iconic of French landmarks, decided to break free from the shackles of conventional tourist traps. It started embracing its inner weirdo, hosting a series of avant-garde art exhibits, underground raves, and even a cat cafe.

The tower's newfound love for the absurd attracted a devoted following of free thinkers and creatives. They came to experience the tower's newfound sense of self, which was equal parts mesmerizing and disturbing.

Highlights of the year included:

• "Tower of Love": an exhibit where visitors were encouraged to leave love notes for the tower on its iron latticework.
• "Eiffel's Got Talent": a series of impromptu performances by the tower's own structural engineers, showcasing their hidden skills in juggling, fire-breathing, and interpretive dance.
• "The Great Ladder Caper": a daring heist where a group of rogue climbers scaled the tower, only to find that they'd been there before.

As the year drew to a close, the Eiffel Tower's embracing of the absurd became a defining characteristic of the city itself. Parisians learned to expect the unexpected, and visitors came to experience the unbridled joy of the tower's newfound sense of self.
