Every year, the month of October is marked by a major breast cancer awareness campaign: Octobre Rose. Throughout the campaign, a wide range of actions are organized to raise public awareness and raise funds for the cause. This initiative by thePink Ribbon association is often launched by a pink-lit Eiffel Tower, as well as other Parisian monuments.

This year, four of the capital's iconic sites will be decked out in pink October colors on the evening of the launch: the Eiffel Tower, the Assemblée Nationale, the Luxor Obelisk on Place de la Concorde and Place Vendôme. The latter is also the venue for a unique show open to the general public.
The event takes place on Monday, September 30, 2024, at 7:30 p.m., and features a musical show by singer Amir. The show, which lasts over an hour, also features a parade of eight women with breast cancer on this prestigious square, whose column will also be illuminated in pink. The show, which will also be attended by three patrons of theRuban Rose association, Claudia Tagbo, Évelyne Dhéliat and Alice Detollenaere, has a few surprises in store.
