THE  NIGHT TIME  SPECTACLE  OF THE  EIFFEL TOWER, PARIS..

"Not only the art of the modern engineer, but also the century of Industry and Science in which we are living, and for which the way was prepared by the great scientific movement of the eighteenth century and by the Revolution of 1789, to which this monument will be built as an expression of France's gratitude."

— Gustav Eiffel

The light display from Eiffel Tower is a spectacle   to watch. We saw this during  our  Seine river cruise . Infact the Tower is illuminated after sunset with  thousands of golden lights from the base to the Tower's top. Add to that after every hour from 9.30 pm, there is a dazzle of additional lights  that twinkle  and sparkle for some minutes. Two beams of high intensity lights keep rotating from the top creating a circle over the city of light. A fantastic display and spectacle worth watching . Mobile cameras, video cameras and digital cameras go busy at the sight of this spectacle. People on the deck of a moving ferry stand up to  see, clap, whistle and cry in amazement. 

From every bridge  above , people watching the moving  cruise  boats wave and send flying kisses to the travellers on the  decks of cruise boats  .There  is an exchange of mobile phone torchlights and cries of "bonne croisière" ( happy cruise ).
