As an Italian I could clearly hear some Italian chattering! 4:36 "Non ancora" (translates to "not yet") 4:39 "Questa è la prima..." (translates to "this is the first...") It makes me feel home 😂

here's a fun fact for ya, the day france fell to the Nazi's in WWII they actually cut the ropes on the elevators, so that way if the Nazi's wanted to put a nazi flag on top of the tower, they'd have to take the stairs, needless to say a nazi flag didn't get up there lol

yes yes, I did read that somewhere also! Very interesting. Would love to see how they cut them and then restored the system afterwards.

The older lifts are made by Otis, installed by Otis's sons (or grandsons) themselves if I don't make any mistakes. But for the other lifts I don't know who build them

Had you ever seen the Galleries Lafayettes lifts ? I have very few memories of them as i've only riden them when i was a little kid and after that, they've been completely changed for modern elevators. Such a shame, they did keep one of the old lifts as an exhibit in the base floor though. I always wondered why they didn't at least try to keep the style.

I did have a quick look for these lifts, but unfortunately couldn't find a video showing the old 'unmodernised' lifts. I will have another look later though and thanks for the info.

@opheliedubreuil6360 7 жыл бұрын
They have been modernized such a long time ago, unfortunately. I remember riding the very old ones when i was about 4. Since then they have been modernized twice, the first time they sort of kept a vintage style, the second time they were completely replaced with glass elevators.

If the elevators that go to the top work as a counterweight what if the top one that pull the bottom one up is less crowded and weight less? Does that mean the elevators wont move?

Mr Chay - You did a fantastic job narrating this video. I think it was better than your dad's (don't tell him I said that) ... Very nicely done and its great to see at least some of the original lift gear in place. I bet you would have loved to go back in time to when they were first completed for a nice drink in the lounge at the very top, I know I would that's for sure. Trey trey bon Mr Chay :)

At 1:30 you say the two lifts in the South pillar go to the second and third floors (i.e the top). I don't think this is true - they go to the first and second, not all the way up. The Jules Verne restaurant is on the second floor.

Hi, These being the ones that go up the "legs" of the building and server floors G, 1 and 2? If you see the start of movie at 2:34, there are two platforms to enter either the top of bottom section of the lift. On the upper levels, it's the same, but the first/second floor actually have separate levels.

Yes. This is the access into the tower if you don't want to walk up the stairs. If you're going there do the behind the scenes tour like I did in my second series of videos. Not only do you get to see the lift hydraulic room but you go to the front of the queue also!
