Eiffel Tower replica comes to life for Bastille Days

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The construction of the iconic Eiffel Tower replica for Bastille Days began on Monday.

That symbol of Paris means that the Bastille Days Festival is just around the corner.

Milwaukee's celebration of french food, music, and culture begins on Thursday and runs through Sunday.

For the first time ever, The Hop will operate through the French festival (July 11-14), and The Hop’s Cathedral Square stop is right across from the tower.
