For those of you interested, in French it's "La Tour Eiffel". How the heck do you pronounce that you may ask? Well, I was curious too and did a little search on yahoo answers. Here is what user 'la lah' has to say... tour- same as the word "tour" in English but the R should sound sort of like a gargling sound. Eiffel is pronounced like you are saying the letter F + the word "fell" but put the stress on the "fell" because French stresses the last syllable in the word.
I can never get that gurgling sound quite right.

Very nice Rachel. And, that Google street view is something else. I'll tell you, it gave my vertigo a whirl when I spun it a bit......
I like your rendition of the "Tour"...Gustave would be proud~
Thanks Carol - I'm totally addicted to Street View! DJ, who is Gustave?
