Monumental Tour Eiffel: un show son et lumière pour les 100 ans de la disparition de Gustave Eiffel

Voilà déjà 100 ans que Gustave Eiffel nous a quittés. Décédé le 27 décembre 1923 à Paris, cet ingénieur a participé à la construction de mythiques monuments, parmi lesquels le viaduc de Garabit, la statue de la Liberté à New York, la poste centrale de Saïgon sans oublier, bien sûr, la fascinante tour Eiffel , qui fait la renommée de la Ville Lumière depuis son inauguration le 31 mars 1889. À l’occasion du centenaire de la disparition de Gustave Eiffel , la mythique Dame de Fer s’associe à Monumental Tour afin de proposer un incroyable spectacle son et lumière , diffusé à la télévision et sur les réseaux sociaux pendant les fêtes de fin d'année, et plus précisément le 27 décembre , jour de la mort de l'illustre ingénieur français. Monumental Tour , c’est le projet phare du dj-producteur  Michael Canitrot . Mêlant musique électro et patrimoine, le Monumental Tour sillonne depuis 2019 des lieux emblématiques de France et d'ailleurs, afin d’y proposer des shows son et lumière saisissants captés au sein de véritables trésors d’architecture. Après Arras, Strasbourg, Angers, un live mémorable au château de Vincennes , le phare des Baleines à l’île de Ré, le Mont Saint-Michel, la Cité de l’Automobile à Mulhouse, le château de Pierrefonds, le château de Chantilly ou encore le Palais-Royal , Monumental Tour s’attaque cette fois-ci au monument le plus emblématique de France, j’ai nommé la Tour Eiffel . Au programme ? Un spectacle son et lumière spécialement conçu pour les 100 ans de la disparition de Gustave Eiffel. Intitulé " Monumental Tour Eiffel ", ce show offrira aux téléspectateurs " une redécouverte du monument à travers une fusion unique entre patrimoine, musique électronique et performances artistiques ", est-il précisé dans un communiqué publié le 14 décembre. 

Lors d'une conférence de presse organisée le 21 novembre, les organisateurs en ont dit un peu plus sur les enregistrements (sans public) de ce show. Le tournage s'est ainsi déroulé pendant deux nuits (dans la nuit du lundi 20 au mardi 21 novembre puis dans la nuit du mardi 21 au mercredi 22 novembre) de 1h à 6h du matin. En témoignent les photos prises par certains internautes et relayées par nos confrères de  France Info  et du  Parisien .

Outre le DJ set de Michael Canitrot derrière les platines, accompagné du spectacle de lumières, les organisateurs de " Monumental Tour Eiffel " ont par ailleurs annoncé la participation de plusieurs artistes invités, comme le pianiste et DJ  Yann Dulché , la chorale « Spectre », la chanteuse mezzo-soprano  Yana Mann , et le célèbre danseur contemporain  Ablaye Diop , qui déambulera de la salle des machines au sommet de la tour Eiffel !

Enfin, Philippe Torreton incarnera la voix de Gustave Eiffel lors de cet événement.

• DebbJ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to get oriented to Moscow We started our Moscow experience with the hop on hop off. It was a great way to get orientated to the city. The additional optional tours were also good, we did the Metro tour which I highly recommend, we also paid for the Kremlin tour. The hop on hop off has three different lines all included. Only fault was the bus was sometimes full and you had to wait for the next one which was about 15 minutes (in the cold). Read more Written January 6, 2020
• UmaDelhi 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles 2 days are required Very very good audio guides- the voice quality was also good and also the anecdotes of history were brilliant. Russia is truly beautiful Read more Written September 1, 2019
• BeverleyT 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat trip - TERRIBLE We got on the bus, but couldn’t buy a 1 day ticket. They suggested we do the 1 hour boat trip and said they would drop us to the dock. 1) they dropped us in the wrong place 2) they were lost because of the marathon Then the boat, after we finally found it: 1) stinking fumes, actually gagging 2) no commentary, in fact, no interaction unless you begged 3) offered us 2 for 1 icecreams as they had melted and refrozen as the fridge gets turned off at night Honestly, we enjoyed the afternoon in the boat but spent all of it laughing at just how awful it was!!! The worst thing in Moscow! Read more Written August 18, 2019
• niruDurbs 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not the best value for the price The ticket is quite expensive and covers three different routes in a 24 hour period. The red route is quite exciting and takes about an hour. The bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. However the other two routes take about two hours each and buses come every 30 to 40 minute period. If the bus is full then you have to wait at the stop for the next bus. So personally I feel that not much can be seen this way. I definitely was not impressed. However it must be noted that one can learn a lot about the history of Moscow Read more Written July 3, 2019
• IrishCueTravel 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles SLO Motion Not all their fault , but if you plan on trying this Attraction be patient! Traffic is a big problem first and foremost. But to add additional unnecessary delays; the bus stops at each site for 15 minutes at a time or More ! I gave up half way through ( 45 minutes) ; and walked back to the starting point in 10 minutes! Read more Written June 4, 2019
• michael g 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Worst hop on/hop off EVER Waited for 40 minutes in the cold rain for a bus that never came... unacceptable. Traffic is so bad that when on a bus the previos day it was barely moving. My advice-get a subway pass and a good travel guide book and do sightseeing on your own! Read more Written October 24, 2018
• Rebecca J 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Boat element was excellent We purchased a ticket online for the boat and bus for 2 days. The boat element was wonderful, we saw some amazing parts of Moscow along the river side. The bus element was very disappointing as it only started at 10am and was finished by 6:30pm. It was extremely warm when we were there and it would have been great to do the tour in the cool of the day. There was also no air conditioning in the down stairs part of the bus. They also turned away passengers at one of the stops as the bus was full and there was not another bus for 40 minutes. Read more Written September 26, 2018

• Peter F 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Two Routes There is a short red route which depending on the traffic takes about an hour. The route is generally around the Red Square area. The ear phones were small and sometimes the commentary did not link up with the sites you were seeing. The green bus takes you on a longer route and ours took two and a half hours due to the heavy traffic. I would not recommend this trip unless it is raining or you want to fill in time. The sights we saw were nothing outstanding with plenty of time at certain stops for photos. Also the driver stop for a bite to eat at one stop. Read more Written July 30, 2018
• Bernardo P 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat Trips Moscow, Russia Yesterday, I booked a boat trip with the GetYourGuide.com web page and was totally horrible, didn’t have audio guide as it shows on the picture-Nobody Talk-. The girl on the picture-light blue bag-ask for 100 Rubles for show her the QR Code while I had the Booking and PIN number cause she must see the vessel name-Didn’t say nothing and after she said board any vessel. I suggest take the trip and pay on site, avoid fake internet pages, there are many other services with a lot of entertainment, don’t take this ones. Read more Written July 14, 2018

The traffic is quite heavy so it is a bit slow but there is not a lot they can do about it. We only did the red route. Just a note people don’t queue here when the bus comes it’s a bit of a free for all. Read more Written July 13, 2018
• Daniyal91 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Was Ok.! Started our tour of moscow from here, We had got the 2 Day Pass with the boat ride. The route and the map was good but not well managed. The bus didn't stop at many points. Were were unaware a couple of times at what point we were and missed them. Headphones and maps were provided. Would recommend one should check out the route map before going and decide which places to stop in advance, this way one can manage and enjoy the tour more and us it more effectively.! The boat ride was Ok, a little crowded. No guide provided, just a boat ride with restaurant service Read more Written July 12, 2018
• WilliamDyer 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Poor service on boat and too many waiting times on buses For the price, you should expect at minimum English speaking tour guides with decent experience, but at least in my case that did not happen both in buses and boats. And in the boat even tough we were 90% English speaking tourist at least, the tour guide spoke 95% of the time in Russia, and only 3 sentences in English, I really counted how many times she spoke in English. And at the end she asks us if we have any questions? Of course I told her I couldn’t ask her anything since I didn’t understand 95% of what she was saying. The boat tour is not worth it, just take the bus that would be my advice. Second minus is the waiting times, in the boat they made us wait an hour before it departed, and in many stops with the buses waiting times of 20-30 minutes. I actually think I lost that day around 2 hours doing nothing. Be careful. Read more Written July 10, 2018

Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument sells tunnel tour tickets

A view of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in Cleveland's Public Square.

• Paris Wolfe, cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument on Public Square is hosting its popular Tunnel Tours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., April 27-28. Online ticket sales begin at 10 a.m., April 11, on the Monument’s website . A limited number of tickets are available in advance; standby tickets will be available on tour days. Tickets are $5.

The Monument is dedicated to the 9,000 people from Cuyahoga County who served the Union in the American Civil War. Designed by Cleveland native Levi T. Scofield, it has been open since 1894. A concentric system of tunnels and walls beneath the Monument serve as its foundation.

Scofield, interestingly, was a captain in the Civil War. He went on to design several public buildings and monuments. In addition to the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, his projects include the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield and the Schofield Building -- now the Kimpton Schoefield Hotel -- in downtown Cleveland.

The 30-minute tours include a guided walk-through of the tunnels with additional guest speakers in the Memorial Room. The Memorial Room is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. year-round.

Ticket sales and donations during the event will support Monument programming.

Les cinq anneaux olympiques trôneront sur la tour Eiffel dès ce printemps en vue des Jeux olympiques (26 juillet-11 août), ont annoncé lundi 8 avril à l’Agence France-Presse la Société d’exploitation de la tour Eiffel (SETE) et le Comité d’organisation des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques, confirmant une information du Parisien .

Les anneaux représentant les cinq continents, symboles de l’universalité du sport, seront installés en hauteur, côté Seine, a précisé Jean-François Martins, président de la SETE. Leur installation doit débuter fin avril, a-t-il poursuivi.

Les anneaux olympiques, exposés à chaque édition des Jeux sur un monument emblématique de la ville hôte, seront ainsi au premier plan de la cérémonie d’ouverture, organisée sous forme de parade nautique sur la Seine.

La vasque olympique, qui accueillera la flamme olympique, sera installée, elle, dans le Jardin des Tuileries, parc accessible au public situé entre le palais du Louvre et la place de la Concorde.

La tour Eiffel sera aussi présente sur 24 millions de pièces de 2 euros commémoratives des Jeux olympiques 2024, que la Monnaie de Paris va mettre en circulation en juin.

JO Paris 2024 : les anneaux olympiques seront installés sur la tour Eiffel

INFO LE PARISIEN. A chaque édition des Jeux olympiques, les cinq anneaux géants sont posés sur un site symbolique de la ville hôte. A Paris, ce sera donc sur la tour Eiffel.

C’est traditionnellement une image forte des Jeux olympiques, celle qui parcourt le monde entier, celle qui marque les esprits. Comme chaque ville hôte des JO, Paris aura ainsi ses anneaux sur l’un de ses lieux les plus emblématiques. Selon nos informations, c’est sur la tour Eiffel que seront installés les cinq anneaux entrelacés - bleu, jaune, noir, vert et rouge - symbolisant les 5 continents participants aux Jeux. Ils devraient être placés en hauteur, à environ 60 mètres du sol, entre le premier et le deuxième étage.

Une image forte, alors que la tour Eiffel avait déjà été au cœur de la présentation du slogan « made for sharing » , en février 2017, alors que Paris n’était alors que candidate à l’organisation des JO. Le monument est un des plus connus et identifiables par les touristes, des milliers venant se prendre en photo chaque jour au pied de l’œuvre dont la pointe culmine à 324 mètres de haut.

En plus de porter les anneaux, la tour Eiffel aura une place centrale dans ces JO : son décor servira de phase finale de la cérémonie d’ouverture, puis les épreuves de beach-volley auront lieu à ses pieds, sur le Champs-de-Mars. Juste à côté, au Trocadéro, sera installé le Champions Park, sorte d’immense fan-zone où les médaillés viendront chaque jour défiler au milieu du public.

Enfin, elle sera également présente sur les médailles olympiques et paralympiques, la Maison Chaumet qui les a créées ayant ajouté un insert en métal, prélevé sur la Tour après divers travaux , et taillé en forme d’hexagone, au centre.

Toujours selon nos informations, les anneaux ont été réalisés grâce à ArcelorMittal, leader de l’acier, dans le cadre du partenariat avec Paris 2024. Cela fait deux ans, qu’ArcelorMittal travaille à la création des anneaux qui feront 29 m de large sur 15 m de haut. Comme pour la torche, qui sillonnera la France après l’arrivée de la flamme olympique, le 8 mai à Marseille, ArcelorMittal a utilisé 100 % d’acier recyclé et fabriqué en France. La conception et la coulée de l’acier ont été effectuées chez ArcelorMittal à Châteauneuf (Loire), le laminage à Dunkerque (Nord), et la production dans le Grand-Est. La pose des 5 anneaux s’annonce spectaculaire.

À Londres, en 2012, les cinq anneaux olympiques géants avaient été installés sur Tower Bridge, le bâtiment historique londonien qui s’étend sur la Tamise. À Tokyo, exposés dans la base nautique d’Odaiba, ils s’illuminaient à la nuit tombée, offrant une superbe vue de Tokyo et du Rainbow Bridge. On ne sait pas encore à quel moment, les anneaux prendront leur place sur la tour Eiffel. Généralement, l’événement se produit dans la dernière ligne droite, quelques semaines avant l’évènement. À Rio, les 5 anneaux avaient été inaugurés sur la célèbre plage de Copacabana deux semaines avant l’événement.

Eight passengers stranded on African island after Norwegian cruise ship left without them

A dream cruise vacation has turned into a nightmare for eight passengers left stranded on the African island of São Tomé and Príncipe after their ship left without them because they were late to return from a private tour.

The tourists — six from the U.S. and two from Australia — were aboard the Norwegian Dawn, a Norwegian cruise line ship , which departed from Cape Town, South Africa, on March 20 for a 21-day voyage up the coast of Africa set to end in Barcelona, Spain, on April 10.

But on Wednesday, the group of eight tourists was late to return to the ship by more than an hour for the all-aboard time of 3 p.m. from a private excursion on the island, which was not organized by the cruise line.

Jay and Jill Campbell of South Carolina were part of the group that was left behind.

They said that their tour’s operator notified the cruise captain that they were going to be late to rejoin the ship and that the local Coast Guard tried to get them on the vessel but that they weren’t allowed to board.

As a result, the couple and the rest of the group have been stranded for days on the island off Nigeria, grappling with language, currency issues and complicated travel to catch up with the ship.

“The lovely people of São Tomé were very gracious, very hospitable. They had reached out as much as they could to help us find hotels,” Jay Campbell said on NBC's "TODAY" show Tuesday morning.

“We were able to get to a tour agency there to arrange flights to the next port of call. ... Very difficult process — you’re dealing with multiple languages, language barriers, you’re dealing with different currencies ... finding someone that even has dollars ... trying to get an agent to understand where we need to get to.

"It’s one of those ‘You can’t get there from here,’" he added.

A Norwegian spokesperson called the incident a “very unfortunate situation” and said, “Guests are responsible for ensuring they return to the ship at the published time.”

The cruise line said that after the guests failed to return, their passports were delivered to local port agents, in line with protocol. The company said it was working with local authorities to understand “the requirements and visas needed for the guests to reboard the ship at the next available port of call.”

On Monday, the guests had made arrangements to rejoin the ship in Banjul, Gambia, but the ship was unable to safely dock there because of “adverse weather conditions” and “tidal restrictions,” Norwegian said. The guests were then contacted and provided with information to rejoin the ship at Dakar, Senegal, on Tuesday. 

Jill Campbell said they traveled through seven countries in 48 hours to arrive in Senegal on Monday night.

But the couple was reconsidering whether they even wanted to return to the cruise.

"We are considering whether or not we are going to board the ship. It is in dock here in Senegal," she said. "We believe there was a basic duty of care that they had forgotten about, so it does concern us."

"After what we witnessed, we truly believe that although there’s a set of rules or policies that the ship may have followed, they followed those rules too rigidly. I believe that they really forgot that they are people working in the hospitality industry and really the safety and well-being of the customers should be their first priority," she added.

Ultimately, the eight passengers did rejoin the cruise before 8:30 a.m. ET Tuesday in Dakar, Senegal, Norwegian told NBC News in an e-mail Tuesday evening, after this story originally published.

Norwegian said the passengers were responsible for making their own travel arrangements to rejoin the ship.

"Despite the series of unfortunate events outside of our control, we will be reimbursing these eight guests for their travel costs from Banjur, Gambia to Dakar, Senegal," a cruise line spokesperson said in a statement. "We remain in communication with the guests and are providing additional information as it becomes available."

A silver lining of the catastrophe was that the Campbells were able to connect with another Norwegian Dawn passenger — Julia Lenkoff, 80 — who was also left on the island, but for a medical reason.

Lenkoff was on a different day tour Wednesday. She had "medically disembarked" from the cruise to seek local treatment on that day, Norwegian said.

Norwegian said that its care team tried to call Lenkoff several times and was unable to reach her and that it worked with its port agent in São Tomé and Príncipe for updates on her health.

The Campbells met Lenkoff and were able to put her in contact with her family in California, who flew her home — a move Lenkoff's daughter said "saved her life."

"She's a world traveler. She travels all the time. So this was going to be one of her bucket list trips, because she's been to 120 countries so far, and she wanted to get to 130," her daughter, Lana Lenkoff Geis, said in an interview that aired Tuesday on "TODAY."

Norwegian said Lenkoff was escorted on a flight to Lisbon, Portugal, then put in the care of airport staff members to continue her journey back to the U.S., where she has safely returned.
