The symbol of Olympism on the capital's most emblematic landmark! The five Olympic rings were placed on the Eiffel Tower (7th arrondissement) last night, exactly fifty days before the start of the Olympic Games.
The rings' dimensions are impressive: 29 meters wide, 15 meters high and 9 meters in diameter per ring, with a total weight of 30 tonnes!
They were hoisted between the first and second floors of the building using two cranes with the help of a team of rope access technicians.
