The movie Eiffel event by Marin Bourboulon, in theaters October 2021, follows the love story between the engineer Gustave Eiffel, played by Romain Duris, and a woman named Adrienne Bourgès, played by Emma Mackey. After completing his collaboration on the Statue of Liberty, the architect's reputation is well established. Urged by the French government to create a spectacular monument at the 1889 World Fair, the love affair gave rise to the idea of creating the Eiffel Tower.
Paris has a number of landmarks that Gustave Eiffel, an engineer with a passion for metal structures, helped construct. To mark the release of the film, discover our selection of these places that can be privatized for your events.
