The illumination of the Eiffel Tour will end at 11:45 p.m., which is when the tower closes to visitors, starting Sept. 21, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said. The iconic landmark is usually lit until 1 a.m.
Additionally, the lighting on the exterior facades of all municipal buildings and monuments, including borough town halls, will be turned off at 10 p.m. starting on the same date, she said.
Other actions include postponing when the city turns on the heat in public buildings by a month and lowering the temperature in those buildings by 1 degree to 18 degrees Celsius (about 64 degrees Fahrenheit) during office hours and even lower after office hours and on weekends.

With what little French I know, “c’est domage.”
Bring out the Whale Oil lamps ,LOL
Sacrebleu!!
This is dumb and just plain virtue signaling.
France is powered by 80% Nuclear. They’ll be fine.
Yes.
‘Democracy’ is far too important to be left in the hands of the voters.
Going to be a fun winter in Western Europe.
...Biden/Fed will fill the torch with cash(or Trump supporters)to burn 24/7.
“France is powered by 80% Nuclear. They’ll be fine.”
Yes, this is just France showing some so solidarity with Germany who made the much worse decision to rely on Russian gas instead of nukes.
Crowning symbol of a country unable to cope.
So much for the City of Light.
70% nuclear, but they still need natural gas for the rest, which they don’t produce.
is it possible for (electricity) Europe to convert from
natural gas to fuel oil
to get them thru the winter?
….and Vlad says checkmate, again.
And all of the nomadic tribals who have moved into France from the south (like Africa) are used to warmer temps anyway. It would be cute to see the nomads start slaughtering the zoo animals and tanning the hides to turn into coats and hats and mufflers.
City of Lights goes into darkness.
So they got 80% nuke, huh? Well, the other 20% can still be whale oil? It hasn’t been that long. We still have oil lamps to be prepped for Armageddon-—bbbbuuuutttt we’re short on whales.
Ridiculous. If it’s not the Eiffel Tower going dark, they shut off their beautiful fountains to save water (even though it’s apparently re-circulated water). SO stupid...
The city of light running out of electricity? Let Greta solve the problem.
