Last year, more than 1, 000 skaters visited the Tower's frozen surface, dubbed "a popular success, " by organizers of the initiative. Skates can be hired for 5 euros (6.5 dollars). The rink will remain open daily until 10.30pm, so nightfall will not stop tourists from skating under the colored lights that illuminate it. Photo by Alain Apaydin/ABACAPRESS.COM
