This photograph taken on February 19, 2024, in central Paris, shows a board informing visitors that the Eiffel Tower is closed as staff go on strike, over the financial management of the monument by the city, closing the monument to the public during the second week of the French school holidays. Unions of the operating company of the Eiffel Tower, the CGT and Force Ouvriere say the city, which owns 99 percent of the tower, has underestimated costs and overestimated revenues, whilst also hinting to the threat of a strike during the Olympic Games, held in Paris from July 26 to August 11.
