The tourists and the tower





“Would you please take our photo?” That’s the most common question at the Place du Trocadéro in the early evening, as tourists from all over the world gather to watch the light show on the Eiffel Tower. Although the light show lasts only five minutes, it's repeated every hour on the hour.


We helped several people capture “their moment” as they posed in front of the tower. Finally, at 10 p.m. it was dark enough for the display. As the lights began to dance all around the framework, the tourists let out a collective “Aaah.”  We joined them.

(The blog contained a video of the tower with lights flashing.)
