One of the most visited attractions in the world remained closed to tourists on Wednesday: the Eiffel Tower in Paris cannot currently be visited due to a staff strike, operating company Sete said.
The workers decided to hold a one-day strike on the occasion of the centenary of engineer Gustave Eiffel “to denounce the current management, which is driving the couple straight up the wall”, the CGT union said.
The Eiffel Tower, a structure consisting of 18,038 metal parts, was built between 1887 and 1889 in a record time of two years, two months and five days. It was originally going to be dismantled after the World Exhibition in Paris. With a height of more than 300 meters, it was the tallest structure in the world at the time and held this record for four decades. (SDA)
