WATCH: Arc de Triomphe lit up pink to raise breast cancer awareness

Updated:

Paris lights up the Arc de Triomphe in pink to mark the start of Pink October, raising awareness for breast cancer.

Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe were lit up in pink hues on Sunday night to mark the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

With 60,000 new cases each year in France, breast cancer remains the most common cancer that women develop.

If detected at an early stage, however, some nine in 10 women recover fully within five years.
