Nope.

The linked Snopes article that they use for this viewpoint is badly worded. Although the headline claim is 'It is illegal to take photographs of the Eiffel Tower at night without explicit permission', nowhere in the text does it describe the act of taking a photograph as being illegal. It is all about publishing your photos and sharing them with others.

Awesome I'm going to stick a couple of LEDs on my T-shirt and then hang out in France. It'll be illegal to stick my photo on FB
