Do the french really hate the Eiffel tower?

Question

You hear about it all the time. They hate it and consider it an eyesore. But do they really hate the Effiel Tower?

Answer 1

At first, the French hated the Eiffel tower when it was completed in 1889. The people considered it an eyesore and very unappealing compared to other great French buildings and pieces of architecture. They wanted it torn down, but had to wait However, after a while, the government realized that it could be used for communication via radio signals. So they decided to keep the tower up.
