The Eiffel Tower is lit up in blue for six months in Paris right now. It’s to celebrate France being head of the European Union during this time. I’ve seen the tower red too. It’s always fun to find it lit up in another color. No matter what color is chosen, it is always spectacular.
From the foot of Tracadero before the sparkling lights start on the hour.
The lights are sparkling and there is a reflection on the roof of the car.
Closer.
A view to give an idea of how immense the tower is. It is always a surprise.

Seeing the Tower from the Trocadero is the best view that I had, gives a sense of perspective and the vista somehow is breathtaking, I had this vision on a Sunday morning about 15years ago. Like the blue colour, and your photos of course.

Oooh, I haven’t been up close and personal with the blue tower yet… it looks really nice, actually. Love the shot with the car roof reflection!

Really spectacular, Linda. What a treat to see it every night, too.

Linda, WOW!! I haven’t seen it lit up like this, either. We will be back in Paris in 20 days (but who’s counting) and I hope to see it like this.
Spectacular photos - thanks for sharing them.

I stand amazed just how large the base of the tower really is.
Great shots, as usual.

Wow! These are outstanding photos Linda. Wish I could see it all lighted up. Begs me to come back to Paris.
Thanks for the shots-as usual-spectacular.

Linda, you know of my love for blue! So some time during the coming 6 months would be a perfect time for me to visit…….

Leave it to me to miss the tower at night. Was so rushed last time in Paris, I never got out at night! It looks so festive.
