The City of Paris tells us that the Eiffel Tower will pay tribute to all people rallying around amid the Covid-19 crisis, playing thank-you notes and encouragements to stay home every evening from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
A tribute the Eiffel Tower was already paying by extending the sparkling session every night at 8 p.m. for 10 minutes.
From now on, starting from 8 p.m. a “Merci” [Thank You] will be played on the Eiffel Tower to thank health caregivers, police officers, firefighters, agents of the City of Paris, paramedics, soldiers, cashiers, garbage collectors, store keepers, deliver men, volunteers, helpers, associations, and Parisians, all those rallying around amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
After this thank you, will follow from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. messages to remind limiting trips to the bare minimum in order to limit the propagation of the epidemic and to safe lives. Two messages will alternate in French and in English:
Note this illumination will be held every night and will be technically made from afar.
