The tower was lit in the black, yellow and red of the Belgian flag at the request of Paris' Mayor Anne Hidalgo, according to a statement on the monuments official website Tuesday.

Hidalgo tweeted her support for the people of Belgium. She wrote: "As an act of solidarity with the residents of Brussels, #Paris will illuminate the Eiffel Tower tonight with the colors of the Belgian flag. #WeAreUnited."
