The actual tower in Paris is 330m tall if anyone was wondering, like I was, about the difference in height between some of these others and the original. Seems silly to list heights for all these others on the map but not for the real one.
I’d wager this is something displayed at the Eiffel Tower, where they prominently display and have informed you a bajillion times how tall it is.
So this lets you compare, and if you’re not already aware of the number they’ve tried to ingrain in your brain, OR engage with what they have that tells you.

Well that makes a lot more sense than just forgetting to include the height of the original, like I thought.
I mean I’m making up the only scenario I could think of where it makes sense to not print it so idk if what I said was true I just like to make sense of stuff
