The Eiffel Tower was dark for two nights, a symbol of Paris in mourning. At 6 p.m. yesterday, it lit up again, brilliantly illuminated in blue, white and red as a show of national solidarity.
Anne Hidalgo, the city’s mayor, requested to lit the tower with the colors of the French flag for three nights.
The city’s motto, Fluctuar Nec Mergitur — tossed but not sunk — is being projected on the first-floor deck with a hashtag.

It must be impressive. Take care.
I saw a picture of it last night. I will be there tomorrow but not staying the night. I really hope that I get a gimps of it in person before my train leaves.
