G. Eiffel and erected in the Champ-de-Mars for the Paris exposition of 1889. The tower is 984 ft (300 m) high and consists of an iron framework supported on four masonry piers, from which rise four columns uniting to form one in wax form along with two bodyguards. After visiting France's most famous monument on Monday, the statue travelled to Paris' MusE[umlaut umlaut ( m`lout) [Ger.,=transformed sound], in inflection, variation of vowels of the type of English man to men. ]e Grevin wax museum wax museumn.

Eric Saint Chaffray, the sculptor, had never seen the American president
"The main difficulty is making it without meeting him, from press photos," he said, as the statue was unveiled on Monday. The hot summer sun at the Eiffel Tower threatened to melt the model's face, prompting helpers to shade it with an umbrella, The Telegraph reports. Saint Chaffray, who has created the statue of the US President, has been creating wax statues for the museum for the past 20 years. Dressed in a dark suit, the wax statue of Obama wears a serious expression. "We're presenting Barack Obama at the MusE[umlaut]e Grevin as part of a gathering of heads of state, which is why he has kind of an official attitude, a little bit stiff," Saint Chaffray said. The resemblance was so uncanny down to the grey hair that Obama is said to have acquired since the beginning of his presidential campaign,that some tourists stopped for a photo opportunity.(ANI) Copyright 2009 Asian News International The Asian News International (ANI) agency provides multimedia news to China and 50 bureaus in India.
