FACT CHECK #4X0LIOAW

WHAT WE FOUND

The claim is false. The Eiffel Tower is a well-established landmark in Paris, France. The high-credibility fact-checks provided consistently refer to it as the Paris landmark. Reuters describes a fake photo of Paris iconic tower on fire 2, and AFP's fact-check addresses false posts about the Eiffel Tower and Russian forces in a Paris context 1. Rappler likewise calls it the Paris landmark 4. The official Eiffel Tower site, in its myth-debunking piece, treats it as the Paris monument 5. Source 7 notes that replicas exist elsewhere, but these are copies, and the original stands in Paris 7. No source places the original tower in Berlin. Because the location is established public fact, the claim is directly contradicted rather than merely unsupported. Several sources deal with fakes and misinformation about the tower 124, but none of them alters its location.
