A director of public works, extraordinarily smart and able to direct teams of engineers, architects and civil servants: Jean-Adolphe Alphand, mastermind of Paris' transformation. Without his support Gustave Eiffel would never have succeeded in building the 300m high iron tower which became the Eiffel Tower, symbol of France. We will tell you the full story. </p> <p> Have you missed the excitement, recorded in the book l'œuvre by Emile Zola, of the "avant-garde" artists facing Paris when they claimed « Ah! This Paris - It is for us, we just have to take it ». Let us discover this Paris together. </p> <p> Belphégor and the Phantom of the Opera, you have heard about them, but what do you know about the haunted chair at the Institute?
