Editing Gustave Eiffel (section)

== Heritage protection efforts ==
A number of works of Gustave Eiffel are in danger today. Some have already been destroyed, like in Vietnam.
A proposal to demolish the railway bridge of Bordeaux (also known as the "passerelle St Jean"), the first major work of Gustave Eiffel, resulted in a large response from the public. Actions to protect the bridge were taken as early as 2002 by the "Association of the Descendants of Gustave Eiffel",<ref name="gustaveeiffel">{{cite web|url=http://www.gustaveeiffel.com |title=Page d'accueil &#124; Association des descendants de Gustave Eiffel |publisher=gustaveeiffel.com|access-date=18 May 2015}}</ref> joined from 2005 onwards by the Association "Sauvons la Passerelle Eiffel" (''Save the Eiffel Bridge''). They led, in 2010, to the decision to list Eiffel's Bordeaux bridge as a French Historical Monument.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130525191831/http://www.gustaveeiffel.com/L_association/bulletins_05.html Retour à la liste des extraits des bulletins de l'ADGE].
