The Eiffel Tower is to reopen to visitors for the first time in nine months following its longest closure since World War II.
The lifts of the “Iron Lady” are set to whir back into life, transporting tourists to its 300-metre summit, ending a long period of inactivity caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, AFP reports.
Daily capacity is set to be restricted to 13,000 people, however, about half of the normal level, in order to respect social distancing.
And from Wednesday next week, visitors will need to show either proof of vaccination or a negative test, in line with recent government-imposed requirements.
