It is the symbol of Paris: the Eiffel Tower. Visiting the French capital without admiring the building is considered impossible. But the building is not just rusting away (see video above), in the future the lights will go out at 11:45 pm due to the energy crisis.
Mayor Anne Hidalgo said this is part of the French capital’s energy-saving plan approved on Tuesday.
So far, the Eiffel Tower has shone until 1 a.m., with the lights on the landmark flashing on the hour. Tourists like to miss this moment.
The lighting in the other public buildings – such as the town hall – will be switched off at 10 p.m. in the future. This applies from September 23. Other street lighting is not restricted for safety reasons.
