　　When people think of Paris, they will first think of the Eiffel Tower, a monument (纪念碑)to the French Revolution．On July 14th 1789, Parisians marched to the Bastille and fought with the King's soldiers to set free prisoners from the dungeons(地牢)．This was the beginning of the French Revolution．The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World's Fair, held to celebrate the French Revolution's Centennial．It would be easy to build another Eiffel Tower elsewhere, but it would not be the same．It has become the symbol of Paris．
