Environmentalists say they would like to see the Eiffel Tower transformed into a giant green "jungle" and covered in 600,000 plants.
The plans, it's suggested, could make the Paris icon into the most "ecologically correct" tourist attraction in the world.
An article in Le Figaro said that within two years their could be 600,000 hanging from the tower in basket and an irrigation system made up of 12 tonnes of rubber tubing.
It's said this would give off 84.2 tonnes of CO2 and absorb 87.8 tonnes, making the tourist attraction "carbon positive".
But (and this is a big but) French authorities have denied the plan saying: "There is no project of this nature in preparation" -- oh okay then.
