This is the wholesome moment a dad convinced his daughter that she was one switching on the lights of the Eiffel Tower - using a light switch.

A video shows Esmae, who last name was withheld, standing in front of the iconic monument as she presses a light switch, turning on the lights of the Eiffel Tower.

The special moment was organised by her dad Joel Redhead, 29, who took Esmae, 8, on a surprise trip to Paris, France for her eighth birthday.
