Eiffel Tower and Tunnel Beneath the Place de l'Alma⏮ ◀ TunnelEiffel ▶ ⏭ In this photograph, you can see the relationship of the underpass at the Place de l’Alma to the Eiffel Tower. The westbound entrance to the tunnel is off to the right; it appears more distant than it really is because of the very wide angle of this photograph. The Eiffel Tower is about 860 metres away. It’s a hundred stories high, so it’s still easy to see from here, even in this wide-angle shot. Photographed on April 25, 1999. |
