The Eiffel Tower is lit with the blue, white and red colors of the French flag in Paris on Monday to pay tribute to the victims of a series of deadly attacks on Friday in the French capital.
The tallest structure in Paris and a symbol of France reopened on Monday. From nightfall until midnight on Tuesday, it will be lit up in blue, white and red with a projection of Paris’s city motto “Fluctuat Nec Mergitur,” which means tossed by the waves but does not sink.

Wanted to share this piece published by Reuters as we remember the victims.

When we had dinner in Cortona a few weeks ago we had just come down from spending over a week in Paris. It never changes and every time we are there it is like coming home.
There is a joke that the French are “grumpy Italians” but it is a vibrant city full of gracious people. Thank you for these images. We are all Parisians.

Aloha Judy,
It was on every new station here in the states last night. I even sent all my friends the photo. Clearly it has moved the world much like 9-11.

You may not know this but 25% of the blood in my veins is French and I weep profusely every time I hear this French Hymn.
