France is showing its colors for good.

The Eiffel Tower was lit up in rosy pink lights on Sept. 28 to symbolize support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, as well as the Pink October campaign.

The Paris landmark isn't the only monument participating in Pink October. Toward the end of the month, the Cape Byron Lighthouse in New South Wales, Australia will also be glowing in pink.

Kiosks detailing information about breast cancer will be set up in Trocadero near the tower until Thursday.
