Outrage at the Eiffel Tower over private tour with instructions to keep women hidden

Employees at the Eiffel Tower delayed the monument's opening on Monday to protest a private visit by a Hindu religious organization that took place the previous Saturday. The staff action was prompted by allegations that employees were instructed to ensure female staff remained invisible during the delegation's tour of the site.

The strike highlights tensions regarding workplace conduct and the management of private events at the landmark. The staff's mobilization reflects their dissatisfaction with the specific directives issued during the Saturday visit, leading to the temporary closure of the monument.
