It has nearly 1.7 million fans on its Facebook account.
By Monday, its Twitter account had 18,300 followers.
The Louvre, the world's most visited museum also welcomed Eiffel Tower, accompanied by a photo of the tower on the distant horizon taken from the museum's rooftop.
Constructed in 1889, Eiffel Tower has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.
The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world.
It is 1,063 feet tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building.
During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930.
The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second.
