Paris: The French capital Paris on Wednesday night wished the Eiffel Tower a happy birthday with an elaborate laser show retracing the monument's 130-year history.
First, the monument invited 1,300 children to a giant "snack time" beneath the tower known as the Iron Lady.
The tower then broadcasted a 12-minute laser light shows across the facade.
Professional climbers scaled the monument to mount the lights for the unprecedented show.

Some six million people go up the tower every year, in addition to the crowds who just come to look at Gustave Eiffel's creation, designed for the 1889 World's Fair.
It was the world's tallest monument at the time, and thanks to strict urban planning rules, it still looms large above the Paris skyline.
