Paris - A World Cup victory for France against Italy on Sunday will be celebrated by a spectacular all-night light show at the Eiffel Tower.

The world's most-visited monument with six million visitors each year was draped with thousands of light bulbs to celebrate the millennium six years ago.

Currently these flash on and off for 10 minutes each hour during the night.

But should Zinedine Zidane and his men triumph in Berlin the huge iron structure will flash its recognition without pause throughout the night until dawn.
