What happened

The head of the company that runs the Eiffel Tower will step down at the end of the year after female staff at the landmark building in Paris were excluded during a visit by a Hindu religious group. The incident sparked outrage in France and prompted a staff walkout that saw the Eiffel Tower forced to close for a day.
