Esplanade des Ouvriers-de-la-Tour-Eiffel, Public esplanade at Champ de Mars, France
The Esplanade des Ouvriers-de-la-Tour-Eiffel extends beneath the Eiffel Tower, forming a wide pedestrian space in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.
The site received its name in 2021 to commemorate the 250 construction workers who assembled the Eiffel Tower between January 1887 and March 1889.
A commemorative plaque on the esplanade tells the story of the workers who placed 2.5 million rivets to create the 324-meter iron structure.
Visitors can reach the esplanade through the RER C train line at Champ de Mars - Tour Eiffel station or by using the nearby bus stops.
During construction, workers operated without safety equipment at extreme heights, leading to labor strikes that resulted in wage increases from Gustave Eiffel.
