Only, here it is, this decision is not unanimousparticularly among members of the Sete (Eiffel Tower operating company), which remind us that the image of the monument is depositedand cannot normally be altered. It remains to be seen whether the necessary authorizations will be issuedor if the rings will remain on the Pont d'Iénawhere they are now.
The basin will rise again
