The Eiffel Tower at night
To celebrate Y2K, the city of Paris decided to light the Eiffel Tower such that at midnight on Y2K it would sparkle. When sparkling, the Tower resembles a sparkling bottle of champagne. The people of the city liked it so much, that the Eiffel Tower now sparkles every hour on the hour.
A different angle of the Eiffel Tower...
Just to give you some perspective

Fabulous pictures! I didn't have any idea the tower was lit like that.
I was so overwhelmed by the grandness of Notre Dame that it made me cry!
