What happened
The Eiffel Tower was forced to close on Monday after staff went on strike in protest at the exclusion of female employees during a recent visit by a Hindu delegation. The Paris landmark's operator said the visitors had requested that the visit be organised in such a way as to limit “interactions with women”.
