Thursday evening, the Eiffel Tower went out at midnight - and did not sparkle - in tribute to the Queen of England.

We learn this Sunday in

Le Journal du dimanche

that the extinguishing of the fires of the Iron Lady will become generalized and this, without this evening a last tribute to Elisabeth II.

Indeed, the Sunday newspaper announces that on Tuesday during its presentation of the energy sobriety plan for Paris, “Anne Hidalgo will propose to plunge the Eiffel Tower into darkness earlier”.



Today, the monument's 366 floodlights go out at 1 a.m.

The plan will submit an extinction at 11:45 p.m., when the last visitor leaves the metal building.

Several cities, like Lille in the middle of last week, have just presented and implemented their energy sobriety plan.
