Repainting Eiffel Tower: new coat for a grand dame


Visitors to Paris will see a shinier Eiffel Tower over the course of the year. The Parisian landmark, which celebrates its 120th birthday on Tuesday, will get a fresh coat of paint by a team of 25 painters as part of its new look. The colour, however, will be the same shade of brown. This is the 19th time the Eiffel Tower has been repainted since it opened on March 31, 1889.
