Eiffel Tower for reopening next week, after the coronavirus pandemic led to the iconic Paris landmark’s longest closure since World War II.France’s tourism industry is opening back up, but the 324-meter tall wrought-iron tower won’t immediately welcome visitors the way it did before the country went into lockdown in March.Only limited numbers of people will be allowed in when the Eiffel Tower opens again on June 25.
Elevators to the top will be out of service, and only the first and second floors will be accessible to the public.“At first, only visits by the stairs will be available,” Victoria Klahr, the spokeswoman for the tower’s management, said Tuesday.Everyone over 11 years old will be required to wear face masks, and crowd control.
