About 12,000 people demonstrated, the night before last, in front of the European Parliament in the city of Strasbourg, in eastern France, in support of anti-government demonstrators in Iran.
The Eiffel Tower was also lit up simultaneously with the slogan "Women... Life... Freedom", which embodies the protest movement spreading outside Iran.
The Eiffel Tower displayed a message saying, "Stop the executions in Iran," highlighting the protesters' demands.
Both letters are in honor of Mahsa Amini, whose death in September sparked protests in Iran, as well as arrests and executions.
Paris declared Mahsa an honorary citizen in October.
The Paris City Hall said the display of the Eiffel Tower was a tribute to Amini and "those who bravely fight for their freedom, because the (Iranian) regime continues to execute demonstrators."
The Strasbourg march was organized by Iranians in Europe on the 44th anniversary of the day the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, left the country forever.
The following month, the monarchy collapsed under the weight of the Islamic Revolution, which gave Iran its theocracy.
On Monday, some demonstrators carried pictures of the Shah.
Local media quoted the police as saying that about 12,000 people took part in the march.
