Reference News Network January 29**According to the French weekly "Opinion" ** on January 27 **, the Eiffel Tower will change its skin color during the Olympics, and the "Iron Lady" in Paris will wear a new dress.
According to the report, according to the newspaper Le de France Ouest, the Eiffel Tower will change color in 2024. It's a symbolic change that will add to an extraordinary year.
According to Le France-de-Ouest, 2024 could be a pivotal year for a number of factors: first, the Summer Olympics in Paris, from July 26 to August 11; It also marks the 100th anniversary of the death of the great architect Gustave Eiffel.
The repainting of the Eiffel Tower is not accidental. The colour chosen was anything but unprecedented: yellow-brown, which had been in use since 1907, was also a favourite colour of Gustave Eiffel.
Since its construction in 1889, the Eiffel Tower, the tallest attraction in Paris, has come in several colours. At first it was a brick-like red. This color is also reminiscent of the base color of iron, which is an ideal color for completion.
However, since 1892 the narrative has changed, and the original red color has been abandoned and changed to ochre; Subsequently, in 1900 it changed to a gradient yellow. In 1907 a new movement emerged, this time choosing the yellow-brown color favored by the architect Eiffel. The Le France du West considered it a "reincarnation" choice, abandoning industrial painting, a symbol of Ottoman architecture.
This color remained for nearly 50 years, and in 1954 the tower was painted orange and yellow, and then to a more striking brown and red than the original color. Finally, in 1968 it was changed to brown, also known as "Eiffel Tower Brown".
However, the desire to paint the new color was not so fast to complete, and the coronavirus pandemic affected the project, and the tower reinstated the primer color, forcing the painters to take more safety measures. Only a portion of the tower will be repainted within this year, and it won't be completed until 2026.
