Vilac set its sights high for this magnificent partnership with the Eiffel Tower.
Standing 300 meters tall, the "Iron Lady," whose construction began in 1887, was the main attraction of the 1889 World's Fair.
Did you know? Far from the 2 million visitors it attracts today, the Eiffel Tower was supposed to be dismantled and transported to Latin America to serve as a beacon in Bolivia!
Gustave Eiffel managed to save it for good in 1903 by making it available for testing wireless radio, the precursor to radio. This wooden stacking project was designed in collaboration with a talented young designer. A magnificent wooden educational toy for little ones who will try to reconstruct the famous monument using the colors indicated on the central mast, but who can also mix and match the pieces and create new, original buildings.
