Eiffel Tower Parisian window always includes the tower. In reality, since zoning restrictions limit the height of most buildings in Paris to seven storeys, only a small number of tall buildings have a clear view of the tower. Maintenance of the tower includes applying 60 tons of paint every seven years to prevent it from rusting. The tower has been completely repainted at least 19 times since it was built. Lead paint was still being used as recently as 2001 when the practice was stopped out of concern for the environment. The nearest Paris Métro station is Bir-Hakeim and the nearest RER
Visual Eiffel Visual Eiffel Visual Eiffel is an implementation of the Eiffel programming language developed and distributed by Object Tools GmbH, a German company. Visual Eiffel provides an integrated development environment running on Microsoft Windows. A major design goal is to provide an environment that, unlike EiffelStudio, does not use an original user interface paradigm but instead is comfortable to programmers familiar with such tools as Microsoft's Visual Studio and Borland's Delphi. Visual Eiffel includes a "Display Machine" for developing GUI applications. While many other Eiffel compilers generate C, Java bytecode or bytecode for .NET, the Visual Eiffel compiler generates native X86
