The tower will then broadcast 12-minute laser light shows across the facade starting Wednesday night until Friday that will be visible for free from nearby neighbourhoods. Professional climbers scaled the monument to mount the lights for the unprecedented show.
Around 6 million people go up the tower every year, in addition to the crowds who just come to look at Gustave EiffelB次元官网网址檚 creation, designed for the 1889 WorldB次元官网网址檚 Fair.
