The video discusses the installation of a permanent light show on the Eiffel Tower, involving 35 professional mountain climbers who will install 20,000 globes and rewire the tower with 40 kilometers of cabling. The project, costing €4.6 million, will feature a sophisticated computer setup for limitless light patterns. The lights will operate for 10 years, blinking for 10 minutes each hour after dusk. The Eiffel Tower, built in 1889, was saved from demolition in 1909 due to its telegraphy antenna. The light show aims to enhance the tower's historical significance.
