Dive into L'Exploit de Gustave Eiffel by Hélène Montarde, an exciting adventure from Nathan's “Petites histoires de l'Histoire” collection. This book invites you to experience the incredible epic of the construction of the Eiffel Tower alongside its creator, Gustave Eiffel.

The year was 1884, on the eve of the Universal Exhibition scheduled to take place in Paris in five years' time to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution.
