Heres another interesting - What If - project that would have allowed cars to visit the second level of the Eiffel TowerΒ . In 1936, French engineer Andr Basdevant proposed an ambitious project to make the second floor of the Eiffel Tower accessible by car. The plan involved constructing a spiral roadway that would allow cars to ascend to the second level, providing an extraordinary experience for visitors. However, the project faced several technical and logistical challenges, including structural concerns and the potential impact on the Tower's aesthetic and historical integrity. Ultimately, the idea was deemed impractical and never came to fruition. This proposal, however, reflects the innovative spirit of the time and the constant quest to blend modernity with tradition.
