European Landmark Starting with 'J': The Eiffel Tower's Gardens

The Jardin du Champ de Mars (often called Jardin de Mars) is the park surrounding the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. While the tower itself is the iconic structure, the gardens are a landmark in their own right—a vast green space stretching from the tower to the École Militaire.

• Location: Champ de Mars, 5th arrondissement, Paris
• Features: Tree-lined promenades, ponds, playgrounds, and unparalleled views of the Eiffel Tower.
• Significance: Site of the 1889 and 1900 World's Fairs; a beloved gathering place for locals and tourists.

The tower, designed by Gustave Eiffel's company, stands 324 m (1,063 ft) tall—the tallest structure in Paris and second in France after the Millau Viaduct. It draws nearly 7 million visitors annually, making it the world's most-visited paid monument.
