Paris Texas Eiffel Tower

This scale model is about 1/10 the height of the French original. It was erected in 1993, but needed its own Texan signature - a bright red cowboy Stetson-style hat. The local iron workers' union welded this 60-foot masterpiece together and the added cowboy hat adds another 5 feet. It also includes 27 LED lights that are light up in seasonal colors. Sometimes you'll see the tower lit up in pink or blue for gender reveal announcements by expectant couples.
