The Eiffel Tower is closed on Thursday due to a strike by employees, who voted overwhelmingly to participate in the protest.

The strike was organized following a national inter-union call, and the president of the Eiffel Tower Operating Company confirmed the closure of the monument. This is not the first time the Eiffel Tower has been closed due to strikes, considering it was also closed on September 18. In 2024, the Eiffel Tower attracted 6.3 million visitors from around the world.
