14. The Eiffel Tower can grow 6 inches taller during summer
Due to thermal expansion, the Eiffel Tower can grow taller during the summer months.
The metal in the tower expands as the temperature rises, causing the structure to grow in height.
Although the effect is not noticeable to the naked eye, it has been recorded by the French National Institute of Industrial Property over the years.
