The Eiffel Tower was temporarily closed. The Eiffel Tower was closed when the workers went on strike over contract issues. A board was also placed in front of the tower stating that the tower is closed due to the strike and apologizing for the inconvenience caused to tourists.
The company spokesperson said that the reason for the strike was the contract between the company that controls the tower and the government. The workers also said that the strike was symbolic for the protection of Gustave Eiffel’s great work on his memorial day itself.
One of the most visited places in the world, the Eiffel Tower is open to tourists 365 days a year. The tower will also be the main attraction of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
