La tour Eiffel en 1900
Extrait: "Sans remonter à la tour de Babel, on peut observer que l'idée même de la construction d'une Tour de très grande hauteur a depuis longtemps hanté l'imagination des hommes.

Extrait: "Allez, par un jour brumeux, lorsque la mer et le ciel se confondent à l'horizon gris, jusqu'à l'extrémité orientale de la presqu'île du Croisie, terre salée et pauvre qui semble un bout du monde, tant elle avance dans l'Océan sa langue étroite et basse: Là, une simple pierre, de proportions modestes, s'élève sur un petit tertre au-dessus du granit pourpré battu des flots."
