Eiffel Tower changes color...
 

Is it my browser or is the feed from www.paris-live.com showing la tour Eiffel with a green bottom half lately? Anyone out in Fodorville know why? Curious minds want to know... Thanks, EJ

Edinburgh Castle has definitely changed colour - http://news.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=1452472007

<i>A l’occasion de la Coupe du monde de rugby qui se d&eacute;roule en France du 7 septembre au 20 octobre, et pendant toute la dur&eacute;e de l’&eacute;v&eacute;nement, le monument symbole de Paris dans le monde s’associe &agrave; l’IRB pour saluer ce grand rendez-vous sportif international.</i>

Rugby World Cup month. Why green, <i>je ne sais pas.</i>

Is it just an effect of the lighting?

Maybe just a coincidence, but the colours on the webcam look very like the Australian rugby strip.

Of course, they should really light it in a tartan effect now to mark Scotland's fantastic football victory in Paris tonight.

Merci Robespierre. I guess we'll be seeing une tour verte when we're in Paris mid-October. I'm afraid I know very little about this sport, so I've no idea either why the color green is symbolic of rugby. Thanks again for getting the information. EJ ((#))
