The Tower’s creator, Gustave Eiffel, died in 1923, so in 1993 it re-entered public domain, but there’s still un petit problème: The lights installed by Pierre Bideau didn’t ignite until 1985, which means nighttime images and videos that feature his choreographed light show are still protected under the law." https://www.cntraveler.com/story/why-its-illegal-to-take- photos-of-the-eiffel-tower-at-night?mbid=nl_051018_Daily& CNDID=11714364&weekend_photo=2&spMailingID=13485310& spUserID=MTMzNDc5Mjc1MjEwS0&spJobID=1400935922&spReportId=MTQwMDkzNTkyMgS2
