The tower is blue! Help! Help!

This is something you don’t get to see daily. The most famous tower in the world is in blue.

No! No! Don’t panic. The French government has not gone ballistic with their aspirations to lure in more tourists by painting the tower blue despite the new makeover looking rather romantic.

Actually the Eiffel Tower is illuminated in blue as part of the celebrations of the Europe Day which fell on May 9.

May 9 marks the anniversary of the speech made by French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman in 1950 which led to post World War II Europe creating a pan-european organisation which we now know as the EU.
