The Eiffel Tower was closed to visitors after staff staged a protest following an incident in which female employees were reportedly moved aside to accommodate a religious visit, leaving them 'humiliated,' according to a union representative. Paris's mayor announced that an investigation would be launched into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The closure highlights internal tensions at the landmark over how staff are treated during high-profile visits, and has drawn public attention to workplace conditions at one of France's most iconic tourist sites.
