How would you like to spend a night with the stars overhead and the City of Light all around you?

Vacation rental-home service Homeaway is giving away the chance to spend an evening in a custom-built apartment inside the Eiffel Tower during the UEFA Euro 2016, which is being held in France over the span of a month starting on June 10.

“We present this unprecedented Eiffel Tower history-making adventure, guaranteed to provide the most epic vacation memories of a lifetime,” said Brian Sharples, cofounder and CEO of HomeAway, in a press release.

The contest will have four winners, and up to five additional guests, who will stay in the accommodations on first level of the nation’s most iconic monument, during four separate evenings at the end of June and the beginning of July.

HomeAway says the winners will be making history as the first people to ever sleep inside the Eiffel Tower.

It has enlisted French interior designer Benoit Leleu to create the temporary living quarters, which will feature a lounging area with breathtaking views of the city’s other world-famous attractions, including: the Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Palais, Sacre Coeur on Montmartre and the Seine River.

The vacation rental-home service is also offering people around the world the chance to put the finishing touches on its design. The company will be crowdsourcing elements using the #EiffelTowerAllYours hashtag and through its Facebook and Instagram accounts.

“Creating a temporary dream vacation property inside this world-renowned monument reflects our offering of private and comfortable accommodations perfect for making long-lasting vacation memories,” said Mariano Dima, chief marketing officer of HomeAway.

The winners should be well fed as they are promised a “sumptuous gourmet dinner” and breakfast.

The contest also includes three additional nights at a “luxurious” vacation rental in Paris and round-trip airfare provided by Expedia.

To win, participants will have to answer the question, “What would you do if the Eiffel Tower apartment was all yours for the night?” in 140 characters.

HomeAway will announce the winners on June 10, when UEFA Euro 2016 kicks off in Paris.

The contest is part of HomeAway’s sponsorship of the tournament.
