The scale of the audiovisual work on the Eiffel Tower for the Paris Olympic Games
The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are shaping up to be grandiose, and the Eiffel Tower is at the heart of this global celebration. As an emblematic monument, it was the scene of an unprecedented audiovisual display, designed to sublimate every moment of the Games. Here’s a detailed overview of the scope of our work.
An extraordinary lighting installation
For the Olympic Games, the Eiffel Tower was fitted with 20,000 LED bulbs specially designed to create spectacular lighting effects. Each bulb is capable of reproducing an infinite palette of colors, allowing light shows synchronized with sporting events and ceremonies. The installation of this lighting system required 150 kilometers of electrical wiring to connect all the bulbs and ensure optimal operation.
A team of dedicated technicians
This colossal project mobilized an impressive team. A total of 250 technicians worked tirelessly for six months to install, test and program the audiovisual equipment. These technicians include electricians, lighting engineers, video projection specialists and project coordinators. Their work was coordinated with military precision to meet tight deadlines and guarantee impeccable commissioning.

Immersive audiovisual integration
In addition to the lights, the Eiffel Tower was equipped with 50 high-definition video projectors capable of broadcasting images over a total surface area of 5,000 square metres. These projectors, featuring the very latest in projection mapping technology, transform the tower into a giant interactive screen, offering unprecedented visual experiences for spectators.
A logistical and technical challenge
The challenge was not limited to installing the equipment. Programming and synchronizing the lights and projectors required meticulous preparation. A dedicated team of 20 programmers worked for three months to develop the lighting animations and video sequences, ensuring that they were perfectly synchronized with the events of the Games.
Sustainable lighting
In the interests of sustainability, all lighting systems use energy-efficient LED bulbs. What’s more, the technicians implemented an energy management system that reduced electricity consumption by 30% compared with previous lighting installations of this scale.
Conclusion
The audiovisual work carried out on the Eiffel Tower for the Paris Olympic Games is a true technical and artistic feat. Thanks to the commitment and expertise of hundreds of professionals, this historic monument has been transformed into a symbol of modernity and innovation, offering spectators from all over the world unforgettable moments. The Eiffel Tower now shines not only in its architectural grandeur, but also in the audiovisual magic that surrounds it.
