Eiffel Tower Reopens After Strike over Limits on Women Staff During Hindu Delegation Visit
SETE said 100 visitors asked to limit interactions with women, and staff walked out after management accepted the request.
- The Eiffel Tower reopened on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, after a one-day staff walkout protesting the removal of female employees during a visit by a Hindu religious organization.
- Operating company SETE acknowledged the Hindu delegation requested limited "interactions with women," stating "these conditions should not have been accepted" by management.
- Staff condemned "professional instructions" that made female employees "invisible," with some replaced by men or restricted from specific areas during the delegation's visit.
