The Eiffel Tower remains closed to visitors due to a worker strike this week.
The popular Paris landmark has posted soaring visitor numbers in the lead-up to the Summer Olympics, according to the Associated Press. However, the most recent visitors to the 1,083-foot tower have been turned away.
"Due to a strike action of a part of the Eiffel Tower personnel, the Eiffel Tower is currently closed. Visitors with e-tickets for today are invited to check their email. We apologize for the inconvenience," the tower's official website confirmed on Wednesday.
"Due to a renewable strike notice, the opening of the Eiffel Tower could be disrupted on February 22. Check the website before traveling," the statement concludes.
There's currently no clear timetable on when the tower might reopen so travelers should continue to monitor the website for updates.
