“FOLLOW GUS… AND LEARN ALL ABOUT THE EIFFEL TOWER. IT’S FUN! Parcours libre au 1er étage du monument

For the first time, a special discovery game for 6-10 year olds has been designed to help them get better acquainted with the monument and have fun doing so. They will explore the history of the Eiffel Tower, its creator Gustave Eiffel and many other details, facts, figures and anecdotes relating the construction up to the present day.

The teacher’s kit is available free of charge

Gus is a likable fellow, curious and energetic,
and he will take young visitors on a visit
of the first floor of the monument. This 12-step
discovery requires that you ask and answer
questions about the history and mystery behind
the Eiffel Tower.

Gus’ yellow fluorescent tennis shoe soles will lead the way along the discovery of the 12 themes* that focus on the Eiffel Tower in the form of short illustrated texts.

That is where children will find the clues that will help them to answer the quiz found in the game book they were given, which also contains other fun activities: mazes, riddles, observation games or find the differences…

* Who was Mr. Eiffel ? Once upon a time… the Eiffel Tower. The Tower gets a new look. The different challenges and feats. The Tower made of iron and rivets. The Tower is a star. Hello, Eiffel Tower? The Tower from Top to Bottom. A look at inventions, and the facts and figures behind the Tower. The tower and its lighting. The Tower in the world…
